[LONG TERM] NEED ROOMMATE- MONTREAL, CANADA
Ok, this post is going to be a little unusual in that I’m actually searching for a roommate, not so much a couch-mate. My couch will be open once everything is set, but until then I am desperately searching for a fellow student who is in Montreal. Basically the apartment is at Coloniale and Prince Arthur, downtown. Rent is pretty cheap. I’m a 18 year old bigender person who is...

two-ells-two-tts asked: RESOURCE: HARTFORD CT. I just checked with a friend who does legal work for kids in DCF in CT. Under the McKinney-Vento act regarding homeless youth, the 15-year-old Hartford Anon has the right to run away and live with a friend or relative and continue going to school wherever they are currently enrolled. So it sounds like the law is in favor of our anon and anyone housing them. Other resources...

HAVE COUCH - MADISON, WISCONSIN
I live in a housing co-op in downtown Madison and know firsthand how terrible it is to sleep on the streets, so I will sponsor folks who need a place to crash for up to two weeks. You’d need to come to a house meeting so people can meet and get to know you, and any one person in the house can object to you being here, but as long as you aren’t terribly shady, that oughtn’t be a...

I’m a young FtM trying to find a place to live in Boston in the fall. I’m moving to Boston or a suburb (Salem ideally) with my cat in August, but I’m having trouble finding us a place to live. If someone could give us a room for a few days, a sublet, or maybe a landlord’s information, it’d really help us make this switch a little easier.
