Open your homes to victims of Katrina

MoveOn.org: Democracy in Action

MoveOn.Org has provided this online service to help people in need of emergency housing to find people offering to share their homes for a while. I don't think they'll mind if I just copy a little info from their website (follow the link above.)

Offer housing to Hurricane survivors

How it works:

• Your info is hidden. If you offer to host, people looking for housing will be able be able to see your posting, but not your name and email. You can choose whether or not to list your phone number.


• We pass you requests by email. When someone requests housing through our site, we will send you an email with their contact info and their message to you. It's your responsibility to follow up with them by email or phone..


• You remove your offer when it's filled. When you post an offer, we'll send you a confirmation email with a link to remove your posting in case you fill it, or no longer have space. People will continue to contact you until you do so.

Guidelines:

• Housing in the Southeast is best. By far the greatest need for housing is within several hundred miles of the affected region. If you live elsewhere, please ask anyone you know in the area to post a housing offer, in addition to posting your own.


• Only list your own housing. Please don't offer lodging that's not actually yours to offer!


• Offers should be free. All housing offered on this site must be free of charge.


• Be smart. We can make no guarantees about the people who contact you. Please use common sense.


• Hurricane survivors need work too. If, in addition to housing, you can connect hurricane survivors with temporary work, please note that in your description
