	<title>New ISA Housing db</title>

	<link>http://isa.groups.pdx.edu/fusion/news.php#93</link>

	<description>Hi Guys, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seeing so many &quot;need Housing&quot; mails on portland_state and on isa.pdx.edu forums, I felt there was a need for an app that could display all these posts in one place conveniently.  So I created an Online Housing db which can be accessed from here:&lt;a href='http://www.isa.pdx.edu/fusion/viewpage.php?page_id=14' target='_blank'&gt;http://www.isa.pdx.edu/fusion/viewpage.php?page_id=14&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Give it a try. As usual send your suggestions or comments to kvikramg@gmail.com&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
