Matching Housing with Refugee Tenants



This past Sunday our congregation was honored to welcome Joe Landis. Joe shared with us about his start up, ReHome.


ReHome's vision is to use technology to make it easier for families who arrive through the US Refugee Admissions Program to match with the right rental homes where they can start rebuilding their lives.


There are three ways to support:


1) Refer landlords in your network to www.rehomemarketplace.com, which allows anyone to set up an account and list their rental unit to match for free in two quick steps with a refugee household.


2) Sign up for a mailing list to stay updated on how ReHome is bringing together a stronger refugee-welcoming rental market across the US: http://eepurl.com/iwom4Y


3) Pray for ReHome and the rest of the refugee resettlement network as we move into the next round of the Trump administration.


Contact Joe anytime at joe@rehomemarketplace.com or (717) 271-4369. And let him know if you are visiting Boston!
