HOUSING INFORMATION
Please Contact Kris Wills - 925.586.7270
It is important to understand that The Blue Devils cannot take responsibility for finding you housing or employment. We will try to help you as much as possible, but no promises can be made. The Concord area is one of the fastest growing areas in Northern California, and as such, jobs are abundant. However, you will find that housing can be costly. Many members pool their resources and are then able to set up households. If you have friends or relatives in the San Francisco Bay Area, arranging permanent or temporary housing with them would certainly be to your advantage. You must be responsible for your own housing. | |
