Homeshare Program

Homeshare is an innovative way of bringing together two groups of people with needs:

• Person aged 65+ living alone, needing help around the house and companionship
• A Homeshare Volunteer needing somewhere affordable to live

Homeshare is based on the belief that companionship of a shared living arrangement can help negate feelings of social isolation and enhance the wellbeing of all in the household. Through the sharing of skills and experiences, the Homeowner and Homesharer enrich each other’s lives.

How does it work?

We take the time to get to know you and match you with a Homeshare Volunteer who undergoes thorough screening and application process.

Matches are established with a Homeshare Volunteer according to individual needs, interests and preferences.

The program supports introductions, a trial period and is monitored by a Program Coordinator.
