I would like for you to post our offer of our fully furnished guest house to a displaced family. It is one bedroom, but there is a pull out in the living room. We also have a loft area that children like with sleeping bags, but it's not well insulated and it can get hot up there. There is a washer and dryer, and everything else you can imagine. It is used as a bed and breakfast and we charge $150 a night, so it's got antiques, cable and wireless Internet. I am looking for a family truly in NEED and not someone to take advantage of us ( I speak from experience unfortunately). I know our community would be able to furnish clothes, diapers and other donations. If you could help us get the word out to the right people, I would be willing to drive a few hours to pick them up. We prefer someone with children and a pet is OK.

Offers of shelter should also be placed on the following  user-friendly sites. While most displaced families do not have access to the internet,  assistance providers do. ATTENTION, REALTORS in search of properties for friends, families or the endless streams of phone calls and walk ins, use the search capabilities of these programs to help make a match.  www.hurricanehousing.net is a REALTOR led initiative. You enter your offer into the database. Search capability will be available on Monday. www.hurricanehousing.org.  Craig's list points to this site. Making phone # public is optional. Your e-mail address is not given out. Site forwards e-mail to you. Realtor.org led me to https://www.swern.gov/index.php , the National Emergency Response Registry. Site itself requires ssimple registration to receive a user name and password. A fellow Realtor found http://katrinahome.com/ which apperas to be another good resource.Whether you enter on all or one,  be sure to return and pull the offer once you have found a family. Some of the above sites, noteably,  www.swern.gov have multiple categories (medical, skills, commercial buildings,etc.) Let's build these databases for now and in the future.
