Staff Lodging Assistance Program – Signup
The staff roomshare program exists to support staff members who would otherwise be unable to attend or staff the convention due to lodging costs. Because this program uses limited convention resources, all participants are expected to follow the requirements below.
- Applicants must be an active staff member of Furry Migration for the current convention year.
- This program is intended for staff who do not live within reasonable commuting distance of the convention and who cannot financially afford a hotel room during the event.
- Approval is not guaranteed and depends on available space.
- Hotel parking is not included with room share assignments. Any parking fees are the responsibility of the individual staff member.
- Occupancy Rules
- Only approved Furry Migration staff members may stay overnight in the room.
- Guests are not permitted, including friends, family members, significant others, or non-staff attendees.
- Rooms are assigned for staff housing purposes only and may not be used to host gatherings or parties.
- Pets are not permitted, except where required by law for service animals.
- Roommate Expectations
- Participants must be accommodating and respectful of shared space with other staff members.
- Staff are expected to maintain reasonable cleanliness and organization within the room.
Misuse of the program, including violating the occupancy rules or misrepresenting eligibility, may result in one or more of the following: Removal from the roomshare, Ineligibility for the program in future years, A staff conduct write-up or dismissal from staff.
We take privacy very seriously, and will not share applicants of this program outside of the hotel department (for staff room delegation), conchair (for program oversight), and website webmasters (for handling of form submissions).
Applications close date TBD, but please signup as soon as you’re able.
FAQ
- Do I need to share proof or reasoning behind not being able to afford a room?
- No. Financial position is your business and not ours. This is an honor system, and by applying, we assume that you have a valid reason for being unable to afford an overnight stay within the hotel.
- Why do you ask for my department?
- We ask for your department so we can group together like-department staffers, if applicable.
- Why do you ask for my cellphone?
- This is for contact purposes during the weekend of your stay involving any changes or updates involving your room.
- How do you decide who gets a room?
- If the number of applicants is greater than the number of rooms available, it will be handled by a lottery system. We dont love lottery systems for choosing individuals, but its the most fair & unbiased way to handle it.
