• Example: a group filling out a card for a 4-person apartment/house should also fill out two 2-person cards. If they do not receive the 4-person spot, they still have an opportunity to receive a 2-person spot.

• On each card, indicate your group’s occupancy preference and include a group member’s contact information.
