Homesharing is when two unrelated people live in a home together and share expenses. Offering a fresh take on roommate living, it’s a win-win solution for those seeking affordable housing — typically younger adults — and those in need of some support to live on their own — often older, active adults.
With the help of a homeshare program like Odd Couples Housing, homeowners offer their spare rooms to seekers at low cost in exchange for an agreed level of support (household chores, transportation, house or pet sitting, etc.).
A Growing Global Trend
People everywhere are living longer. And, as more older adults are aging in place, students and young professionals are struggling to find budget-friendly places to live. Homesharing is a convenient and cost-effective solution to both the affordable housing crisis and a rapidly aging population.
