house-thumb7003715.jpgWhat is HomeShare?

For the homeowner, HomeShare could mean no longer living alone; feeling safe with another person in your home; help with household chores; help paying your mortgage or property taxes.

For the home seeker, HomeShare could mean safe, decent, affordable housing; companionship and security of living with another person; reduced rents.

HomeShare helps match homeowners with people looking for a place to live.  Our staff introduces individuals that are found to be compatible, helps them to develop a home sharing agreement, and offers follow-up counsel if a match is made.  

All applicants on both sides are screened and interviewed by the program staff.  The applicants are required to provide three character references and complete a background check. 

We do require administrative fees for both applicants.

We match very carefully for mutual benefit and compatibility.  If a HomeShare arrangement is not appropriate, staff will counsel applicants and/or refer them to other appropriate housing services.
