- SALSA House: SALSA might get our own house! We are very excited about this and we hope you are too because we can't get it without your help! Please fill out this form. The process for acquiring a house has already begun, but need to show housing and CMU that there are people who are interested in having a space, living in the house, and we need to tell them why having a space on campus is necessary. It's very important. If you have any questions about this, please don't hesitate to ask.
