 Introduction & Why Couch-Host?

*Introduction:*

https://CouchHosting.org has three main themes:

* Guest and Host sign ups for couch surfing through the
https://freeworlder.com app. Focused on helping homeless people find free
places to crash. For even more ways to find couch surfing opportunities,
also visit https://www.couchsurfing.com .

* Leads on companies that will help you get qualified for your next
apartment by co-signing or insuring your next lease with you for a fee.
That page is here: https://couchhosting.org/co-signer-opportunities

* Tips on stretching your budget and how to skip paying bills without
penalties if you are unemployed/underemployed. This is on the Homelessness
Prevention page, located here:
https://couchhosting.org/homelessness-prevention

*Why Couch-Host?*

Couch-Hosting is a great way to meet new people, many of whom are homeless
and in need of a place to crash for a few days. In my brief experiences
with hosting homeless and street travelers at my cooling center days at my
Peacestickers.net store in the summer of 2017, I found that all of the
people in need who visited my store were level-headed and able to keep it
together for the few hours that they visited my store, even the ones who
let on to being mentally ill or drug users. Many of the travelers were very
culturally sophisticated, beyond my modest cultural inclinations for sure.
If these people were your overnight guests, they would provide you with an
enriching cultural experience that you would expect from a foreign traveler
visiting from overseas.

*Supporting Organizations:*

The development of the CouchHosting.org web site is a personal project of
one of the co-chairs (John Thielking) of the Lane County Chapter of the
Pacific Green Party, headquartered in Eugene, OR, USA, and is supported by
