Looking for a little help finding housing in Atlanta for a Duke '07 grad.
I am living in Atlanta doing AmeriCorps VISTA. For those of you who aren't familiar with it, this is a year-long service opportunity (similar to Peace Corps, only domestic) dedicated to building capacities to eliminate poverty.
I work for Fugees Family, which is a pretty amazing organization. We serve refugee boys and girls through homework help, literacy enrichment, and recreational programs. All of our programming is based around soccer. You can check out our website at
www.fugeesfamily.org. We've been featured in the NYT, the Today Show, and ESPN (you can find links to these articles/videos at
http://www.fugeesfamily.org/events.html)
I am planning to stay with the Fugees for another year, and will be taking all sorts of odd jobs to make ends meet. I am looking for housing to start in August or September and would like to find something in a safe area at < $500 (the cheaper, the better.) If anyone knows of any basement apartments or in-law suite style apartments available, I would really appreciate the help. Am looking to be in the Decatur/Scottdale/Stone Mountain/Avondale Estates/Emory/Druid Hills areas as I have late hours and work in Clarkston (just outside the Perimiter NE of Decatur)
On a semi-related topic, I am looking for businesses/products that would like to pay me monthly to put an ad on my car. I drive upwards of 25,000 miles a year so this would be great publicity for the right group!
Any other suggestions for flexible (my work schedule varies week by week) part time work are appreciated!
thanks for your help DBR!
