Sharing Your Home

Home sharing can be a rewarding experience for people looking to stay in their home but are having difficulty with daily tasks/chores, loneliness/social isolation, or those needing extra income. Many of our Home Providers benefit from all three, although they are only coming to the program for one reason.
Our Home Providers set their own rent. For the last two years, the program's average rent has been $650/month with 5 hours of service exchange per week. This is an additional $7,800 per year!
Home sharing is great way to bring life into your home. All of our matches are based off of “goodness of fit” meaning we look at personality, lifestyle, hobbies and interests to match you with someone you’d get along with.
Many of our Home Seekers come to the program because they enjoy helping others. Usually the more service exchange and help with daily tasks the less the rent is.
Sunshine Home Share verifies each person that enters our program, assessing for mental health, financial health, and completing reference and background checks.
I have less financial worries thanks to home sharing. Sunshine has gone beyond the call of duty.
