shared lives

A housing solution for our times

Sharing homes, creating friendships, changing lives.

Home share matches older people who need a little help to live independently at home (home provider) with a carefully selected, compatible sharer who needs housing (home companion). 

 

In return for low-cost accommodation, the home sharer provides 10 hours of support per week to the home provider.

intro

A world built on care and compassion

Home share is a mutually beneficial arrangement that can enrich the lives of both the home provider and sharer. Based on the principles of kindness, connection and reciprocity, it is a way to widen horizons, meet new people and create intergenerational friendships.
