NEW YORK (January 19, 2006) - ApartmenTime.com, America?s fastest-growing online apartment listing service, is working to create the first of its kind nationwide Emergency Housing Network.With recent events such as Hurricanes Katrina and Rita showing the country how unprepared it is for natural disasters, it?s critically important to create a nationwide system that gives agencies such as FEMA and the Red Cross an updated list of available apartment units from coast to coast.
Now ApartmenTime.com is doing it! ApartmenTime.com is creating a site within its site called the Emergency Housing Network. This site will only be activated in times of national need and will include a list of over 100,000 empty apartment units throughout the country.Here?s how it will work: When a disaster strikes, government officials can assign victims apartments based on their needs from this nationwide list. Property management firms and owners will be ready to expect new occupants, and arraignments will already be in place. This streamlines the process immeasurably.
This will also help keep better track of victims and ensure that everyone in need of housing is being served. ApartmenTime.com expects to have some elements of this Web site ready before the February 28th deadline to help victims of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita; if not, it will be in full operation prior to the start of the next hurricane season on June 1, 2006.The Emergency Housing Network will be a national listing and will be used for all disasters. Hurricanes are not the only natural disasters that require emergency housing response; floods, fires and earthquakes are commonplace on the West Coast, and the EHN will be available to all in need. When a visitor comes to the EHN, they?ll not only be able to locate available affordable housing but, using our Citysearch@ApartmenTime.com feature, they will be able to locate schools, churches, daycare, unemployment offices, job search sites such as Hotjobs and Monster.com, and many other resources they will need in order to fully integrate into their new permanent or temporary community.Creating a site such as this will require a lot of work, and of course funding; ApartmenTime.com is hoping to receive assistance to make it work to the benefit of all Americans.
