Home sharing has been a way of life since the late 1980s for a single senior homeowner in the uptown district of Port Townsend. It all started when she offered a free bedroom to a young person working at a local non-profit. After a couple positive experiences, and seeing a need for affordable living spaces for such community members, she has rented space to more people than she can remember.

We set out to create a socially engaged housing option for minimum wage workers, young families, and retirees on Social Security, that all can afford without subsidies.
