HomeShare: Share your Home or Find your Home

The Senior Advocacy Network is excited to offer a new housing alternative for residents of Stanislaus County: HomeShare! Our staff matches Home Providers (people who have a room to rent) with Home Seekers (people who are looking for a room to rent) based on shared interests, lifestyles and needs. And - it's free!
HomeShare is about more than just introducing people to live together.
Here at SAN, we care about making matches that enrich the lives of both the Providers and Seekers.

Sharing a home has many benefits

  Companionship: mutual support and the opportunity to share company with a compatible homemate
  Increased financial stability: additional income for the Provider and an affordable housing option for the Seeker 
  Household chore exchange*: agreements can include assistance with light cooking, errands, driving and more
  Greater security at home: maintain independence at any age and stay in your home longer
*Household exchange is optional and can not include medical or caregiving services
