Home Share Program offered at Senior Services for South Sound
Brings together those who have available housing (Home Provider) with those who express a desire for housing (Home Seeker) within Thurston County. Applicants are pre-screened before being matched on compatibility of lifestyle. Some Providers are willing to reduce or eliminate rent for an exchange of services provided by the Seeker. Benefits of Home Share include: - reducing cost of living, - assistance with household chores or transportation, - maintaining independent living, - increasing quality of life, and - the ability to maintain a household. Home Share is not an emergency housing program. And it cannot guarantee a match. https://www.southsoundseniors.org/supportive-services/home-share 360-586-6181 [email protected]
