Nah. That is what I'm trying to avoid. At these FAA Housing places (which are not actually affiliated with the FAA), they know what your per diem and food allowance is, so they charge exorbitant amounts for their lodging. They will give you one room in a three bedroom house (and fill the other two rooms up) and charge you 48.60 per day. The exact per diem allowance. That's over 1400 a month for a bedroom, in a house you share with two other people. These houses are just run of the mill 1400 sq ft houses, and you know $1400 from one bedroom tenant would pay their entire mortgage that month, with property tax and insurance escrowed into their monthly bill as well. Screw price gouging greed mongers :P
