Temporary housing
Forever grateful
Help victims of natural disasters by providing
short term shelter
How It Works
Step 1
Homeowners can create an account by providing basic personal information, home details, and ID and photo for verification. Edits can be made by logging in through the Charody site.
Step 2
If a disaster occurs and housing is needed, verified partner organizations will be given access to search through Charody’s volunteer homeowners to contact.
Step 3
Based on the information the partner organization shares of the victims, homeowners can choose how many to host and for how long, but no longer than 30 days.
The impact you make
It was hard to get shelter to fit my physical needs and where my dog would be accepted. So many volunteers through Charody offered to help us. I stayed with one host for a few weeks and another for a month until I was able to find a new home after ours got burned from a wildfire.
