I was watching one tv show with Tokoro George and they sent some minor talento with a camera crew to a remote area of Hokkaido or northern Honshu with only like 300 yen a day or something. I think the first night he spent the night in the park because he couldn't find someone to put him up for the night (even with a camera crew in tow). The next night he knocked on dozens of doors, but finally found a home that let him stay for a night or two (in exchange for working around the house and farm).

It could be possible to spread the word around. I have a first hand experience with this and I know it works. Even if one displaced family finds much needed support that would be an accomplishment. If anyone sends the message to couple of people they know it would be a great deal of support.
