Press Release Attached - For Immediate Release.

GABA, the Gay Auckland Business Association, and OUTLineNZ have joined
forces to create a database of GLBT and GLBT-friendly accommodation across
New Zealand to assist Christchurch residents that may have been affected by,
or displaced as result of, the Christchurch earthquake.

Offers of housing assistance are already flooding in through the Gay Stay
network for free and subsidised short and long-term accommodation throughout
New Zealand. Offers are also being welcomed from people with holiday homes
or spare rooms available anywhere in the country.

The GLBT-friendly accommodation database is being compiled cooperatively by
GABA and OUTLine, and both organisations will help to facilitate the
appropriate placement of those in need. The database will also be made
available to government ministries and NGOs that are approached by families
and individuals who would prefer to be placed in a GLBT-friendly
environment.
