Homeshare

Homeshare is an affordable service that matches people who have a spare room and require extra support around the house (Householders), with individuals looking for affordable accommodation and willing to provide help at home (Homesharers).

Homeshare

Homeshare is a service that brings two people together to share a home for mutual benefit:

  • a householder is someone who has a spare room and would welcome extra support or companionship in their home
  • a homesharer is someone looking for affordable accommodation who is willing to provide help and company in return

This arrangement supports independent living while offering a practical housing solution.

How Homeshare works

Homeshare is a carefully managed arrangement. Each match is based on compatibility, needs, and preferences to ensure a positive experience for both parties.

All participants are vetted and matches are made thoughtfully to create a safe and supportive living environment.

Typically, a homesharer provides a set number of hours of help each week, such as:

  • companionship
  • light household tasks
  • practical day-to-day support

In return, the homesharer benefits from affordable accommodation.
