HomeSharing’s mission is to create affordable housing solutions by matching those seeking housing with those who need additional income or services to maintain their homes, while fostering independence and dignity.
HomeSharing helps individuals who need additional income or assistance in order to maintain and remain in their homes or apartments (Providers) and individuals searching for safe and affordable housing in the community (Seekers).
The typical Provider is an older adult on a fixed income who needs extra money to pay their mortgage or taxes or who needs some help around the house in order to continue living independently. Providers also include younger families and singles who are having financial difficulties and have a room to spare.
The typical Seeker is someone who recently experienced a job or relationship change and does not have much expendable income to pay for the high cost of housing in the Central Jersey area.
Providers must live in Somerset, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Morris, or Union Counties, or in the Montclair area. Seekers can come from anywhere in the country and must be trying to move into our service area.
Providers should have a suitable house or apartment with a separate bedroom for a Seeker and being willing to share common spaces (living room, kitchen, and bathroom). Providers and Seekers must be independent enough to meet their own basic needs.
