Home Sharing 101
Home sharing can reduce social isolation, create monthly income for homeowners, and generate new affordable housing options for home seekers. The new Montgomery County Home Sharing Program assists homeowners offering spare rooms in their home for rent to home seekers searching for affordable, healthy and safe housing for longer than six months. This innovative partnership between Housing Initiative Partnership, a nonprofit, and Montgomery County’s Department of Health & Human Services provides free access to the Silvernest online matching platform. HIP’s certified housing counselors help homeowners and home seekers identify personal preferences, navigate the online platform, and carefully assess potential matches.
