Have a room to rent? How about renting to an IYRS student?

IYRS Seeks community members to offer rental housing to students.

Women students at boatbuilding school

IYRS students come to our school ready to transform their careers—and their lives—through hands-on, immersive education. They bring passion for their craft, a strong work ethic, a love of building and creating, and the commitment that earned them acceptance to IYRS.

What many of our students lack is housing, due to Newport’s challenging rental market. To make their educational goals possible, IYRS students are seeking members of the community who are willing to rent a private room in their home, or an apartment, condo, or house.

These arrangements follow a traditional landlord–tenant model. Homeowners may provide a rental contract if they choose, set the monthly rent amount, and receive rent payments directly from the student.

Typically, IYRS students require housing during these time periods, depending on their program:

  • September-March
  • September-June
  • March-September

Homeowners who complete the form below will be placed on a list of potential housing opportunities provided to IYRS students who will contact you directly to inquire. Placement on the list does not guarantee rental of your property and does not obligate you to rent to a student.
