The homesharer (often a younger adult or key worker) receives free or low-rent accommodation, helping solve the housing crisis for people with lower incomes or student debt.
Homeshare arrangements can extend independent living by several years, delaying or avoiding the need for a care home — a major financial relief for families.
Homeshare models offer stable monthly contributions with no unexpected fees or upcharges — unlike agency care, which often fluctuates with need.
