What is Home Sharing?
The Delaware Senior Home Shares works to provide affordable and attainable housing to help seniors ‘age in place.’ We facilitate secure home shares for homeowners and renters who are currently stressed financially, experiencing life transitions, looking for companionship, or needing basic assistance (service exchange) to help them thrive and remain safely at home. Home Shares are living arrangements between two or more unrelated people, one of whom is 55 years of age or older, who agree to share a home or apartment for their mutual benefit. Each person has their own bedroom and possibly bathroom, while sharing common living areas.
Speak with an intake counselor today about how DFFSCHS can be of service to you – whether you are a host or a renter, we want to hear from you!
