Here's a way to offer real help
 

I'd encourage everybody, especially anybody in the South, to offer
hospitality to the refugees here.

Of course, some of you will be really PO'd that it's connected to a very
liberal political action group. So, don't send them money! If you
believe that politics don't really matter at a time like this, put up an
offer anyway. Another possibility is to find a conservative or
non-aligned group that is making the same connection. These guys are
easy to find, and I hope their attempts to match up housing offers to
refugees is working.

Here's another, non-political.

I'm just not quite brave enough to throw that kind of info out there for
*anyone* from *anywhere* to use.

I'd prefer going through a church, or like, organization where I can be sure the
people I'm opening my home to have at least been interviewed by someone in that
area. Maybe I'm too paranoid, but I see nothing on either site that would
prevent a local MS13 gang member from showing up at your front door!
