AFFORDABLE HOUSING THROUGH Homesharing
Homesharing is a free service that provides “win-win” matches between individuals seeking affordable housing and homeowners with an extra room to rent. For 20 years Interfaith Housing Center has been helping homeowners to supplement their incomes or remain independent in their homes by matching them with individuals who can offer rent and/or possible assistance with light household tasks. Homesharing “seekers” are often individuals who want to live near their workplace, adults in the midst of a career change, recently widowed or divorced, retirees unable to afford rent alone, or students. Homesharing “providers” are homeowners or apartment dwellers with an extra bedroom---often retired or recently widowed persons in need of extra income, often independent seniors in need of simple housekeeping help, extra security, or companionship. Homesharing is a free and confidential service. View a brief video and read news stories about how Homesharing matches succeed at www.interfaithhousingcenter.org Questions?

FROM AFSC – AMERICAN FRIENDS SERVICE COMMITTEE
AFSC has just released a new 2 minute video to help people understand the
outrageous amount of money that is being spent daily on the Iraq war -- at the expense of meeting human needs. To reach the widest audience, we need your help. On YouTube, the more viewers a video gets, the more visibility it gets. So we are asking all our friends and supporters to:
- watch this video (at least once)
- rate it (be honest) and
- send it to your whole network of friends and family with the same message.
We hope to get at least 1,000 views the first week – maybe much higher. Please take 2 minutes now. Click here and watch the video:
After you view the video and send it to your friends. If you have a few more moments, please sign our petition to Congress to DEFUND the Iraq War and RE-FUND human needs at home and in Iraq: http://support.afsc.org/site/PageNavigator/DefundRefundPetition Thanks much for your help.
