SHARED
HOUSING For a growing number of persons faced with losing their independence and struggling to keep housing costs within their budget, shared housing is an affordable and viable alternative. A home sharer might be a senior citizen, a person with disabilities, a working professional, someone at-risk of homelessness, a single parent, an AIDS patient, or simply a person wishing to share his or her life and home with others. For these people, shared housing offers companionship, affordable housing, security, mutual support and much more. Shared living has been known to enhance the health and well-being of all people and allows people to remain independent in their home. Home Sharing also preserves neighborhoods, creates an affordable housing and saves housing and healthcare dollars. Shared
housing programs fall into one of two categories: HOW TO LOOK UP SHARED HOUSING PROGRAMS BY STATE: In order to see if there are shared housing programs located in your State, please visit the DIRECTORY Tab on our website to view programs by State.
