Thousands of people are making their way to Detroit this summer to attend the Allied Media Conference http://alliedmediaconference.org/ and US Social Forum http://www.ussf2010.org/. Many of them want to stay for the full 10 days of both events - from June 17 to 27, but will only be able to do so if they can secure affordable housing [[from cheap to free!). Other people can afford to stay in a hotel for that whole time but would rather invest their money in Detroit neighborhoods than downtown hotels.

AMC and USSF organizers want to make sure everyone has housing, and we also want to see as many resources as possible flow into our communities as a result of these two events. In order to facilitate this match-making, Allied Media Projects has built a message board system where people who have housing to offer and people who need housing can find each other. If you, or anyone you know, are interested in making your house available, go to:

http://talk.alliedmediaconference.org/

and follow the instructions to create a post. Make sure to include:
* Where your house/apartment is located in relation to WSU and Cobo Hall
* Approximately how many people it could hold comfortably
* Whether or not you have pets
* What dates it will be available and what price range you would accept for rent.
* How you would like to be contacted

PLEASE FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO ANYONE ELSE YOU KNOW WHO MAY WANT TO OFFER HOUSING

Thank You!
