NORFOLK, VA October 01, 2008
/24-7PressRelease/ -- In an effort to assist with relief efforts for the thousands of victims displaced by hurricanes Gustav and Ike, and tropical storm Hanna, ForRent.com has sent 17,000 apartment listings to the National Housing Locator System (NHLS) via Citizant, an organization that supports disaster recovery efforts for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). ForRent.com is a product of For Rent Media Solutions , a division of Dominion Enterprises.
"The past few weeks have been very difficult for those hit hard by hurricanes Gustav and Ike, and tropical storm Hanna," says Terry Slattery, vice president and general manager, For Rent Media Solutions. "We are more than happy to supply apartment listings to the NHLS, a system that plays a significant role in the rebuilding process for residents after a natural disaster. By sending these listings to the NHLS via Citizant, we hope to help these residents get back on their feet."
ForRent.com apartment listings are sent to this site via Citizant, a leading provider of government professional technical solutions. The NHLS is used by various first responders such as FEMA, HUD and Red Cross in the event of a disaster. The system contains vacant housing data from numerous government and commercial data sources—such as ForRent.com—and serves as a centralized database so that first responders can locate available housing for families displaced by disaster.
"On behalf of my entire company, I want to personally thank our newest data providers—ForRent.com, HotPads.com, TenantsPlus.com, and RentLinx.com—for stepping up in a time of a national disaster to share their data," said Alba M. Aleman, president and co-founder of Citizant. "It is because of cooperation from organizations like these that we are able to operate a system that plays such an important role in the lives of our fellow citizens."
