I'm working on a story for National Parks Traveler about affordable housing for NPS employees relatively close to their work. I'm interested in talking with student employees about several questions, such as is finding housing difficult, how far you have to commute, rental costs, and how if at all Airbnb and VRBO are impacting housing availability. Please message me and we can set up a time to talk. Thanks!
