Chaffee County Home Share is a program seeking to match home seekers with individuals over the age of 55 who have extra room in their home.
So what is home sharing?
· Home sharing is a simple idea where two or
more people share a home for mutual benefit.
· A person offers a private bedroom and shared common space in exchange for reduced rent, help around the home or a combination of the two.
· It differs from a typical roommate situation
because, at its core, it is about two people helping each other.
· No two home sharing arrangements are
alike. Each is tailored to the unique needs and interests of the people
involved.
Our screening and Matching Process
While people can find someone on their own,
Chaffee County Home Share has developed a comprehensive and client-driven
screening & matching process to make the best in-home matches
possible. Our screening process focuses on your safety and security. Each
compatible match is unique and based on the interests, needs, and lifestyles of
the individuals involved. It is up to people in the program to decide who they
want to live with. Home Share staff is with you every step of the way.
