To help ease the housing crunch, the Laboratory asks local property owners in Los Alamos, Santa Fe, Pojoaque and Española to list their rental properties on the Housing Office's home page on the World Wide Web. The Housing Office home page -- http://www.lanl.gov/Internal/housing.html -- provides links to several lists of rental properties, including properties available to share. There are also links to local Realtors and the classified advertising section of a local newspaper, said Vicki Barnett of the Laboratory Housing Office.
The electronic listing of rental properties, Barnett explained, replaces the bulletin board the Housing Office previously maintained.
The Laboratory has lease agreements with four landowners who have 85 furnished, one-bedroom and kitchenette apartments in Los Alamos. These are reserved for students during the summer months, but aren't nearly enough to accommodate all the students who work at the Laboratory during the summer, Barnett said.
The Laboratory's Housing Office telephone number is 667-1726; or write to housing@lanl.gov by electronic mail. Barnett said property owners who don't have computer access to the World Wide Web may also call Virtual Los Alamos at 662-5286 or the Los Alamos Housing Forum at 438-4885. These two companies maintain the rental listings for Los Alamos that can be linked from the Housing Office home page.
