ASUCD Housing Day is an annual event organized by the ASUCD Office of City and County Affairs. It is held in Freeborn Hall, usually in mid-February. ASUCD rents out spaces to various apartment complexes and property management companies. Housing Day provides transfer students, freshmen, and even 2nd, 3rd and 4th year students a place to find and select from a variety of housing options all in one convenient location.The event is a money maker for the the ASUCD.
During the 2005 ASUCD Budget Hearings, the ASUCD Senate voted to raise the fee charged for each booth from $35 to $100, to increase revenue. No decrease in demand for the event was noticed. Perhaps this is due to the high vacancy rate in Davis.
US Housing and Tandem Properties are two major contributors to the event. US Housing is an advertising company that is paid by apartment owners, while Tandem one of the largest apartment complex owners in Davis.
