Lewis & Clark housing
I am an alumnus of Lewis and Clark Law School in Portland, Oregon. I live within a couple of miles of the campus. I have recently posted the following notice on various websites matching housing with homeless Katrina victims:
We have a large home minutes from the Portland city center on a bus line. We presently have an unoccupied guest room with a queen bed. You could walk in the door and move in right now. We also have a large study that could be converted to a bedroom almost instantly. We'd just have to move a bed in there. Our son will be going off to college in a few weeks so there's another queen bedroom. We have a 19-year-old who lives at home and attends college locally and a teen daughter in high school. There's a basement, lots of floor space, a huge covered porch. The possibilities are endless. The house is situated on 3/4 acre and is a tranquil sanctuary. A good place for a respite from the trouble you've had. We have two friendly dogs and a cat. I think that's enough pets, but if you have a pet we could talk about that.
The public school district here is ideal. In the short term this place could house a family just trying to get back on its feet. Long term I could see a couple of high school kids spending the school year here while mom and dad rebuild. We are open to other needs/possibilities of course. If this sounds good to you, but you can't see how you can get all the way to Oregon, contact us anyway. Our ancestors walked here from Missouri. We'll find a way.
If a Tulane student has elected to visit Lewis and Clark Law School for a year, we may be able to offer free housing. Please contact us at wayneskraft@comcast.net or by phone at 503-697-3179.
Thanks.
