Housing Resources

CWA does not provide housing for interns, though we recommend several resources in and around the city. We are also available to assist interns in finding affordable housing once they are accepted to the program.

It is wise to look into these options early in order to be prepared for living costs and housing application deadlines. We recommend exploring your options at the time of application or soon thereafter simply to plan ahead.
