No two home sharing arrangements are alike because we value the unique needs and interests of all involved.
-
Home Sharing is for individuals of all ages, incomes, and abilities.
-
Home sharers must be 60 years or older or an adult with a disability.
-
Home sharers offer a safe and sanitary private bedroom and shared communal areas in exchange for rent, help around the house, or a combination of the two.
-
Home seekers could be anyone over the age of 18. This is a wonderful opportunity for students, part-time workers, or retirees.
Home Sharing is a creative option to address the lack of affordable and available local housing and honor the desire of older adult homeowners to remain living in their homes. It is a responsive community program that values human connection and provides a better quality of life for all individuals.
