Congratulations to Claire and Régis de Kerautem and the whole 1Toit2Äges team on receiving the SilverEco and Ageing Well International Awards in Cannes, France in 2022.
Régis and Claire de Kerautem pose on the red carpet after accepting the 2022 Silver Eco award (International category) on behalf of 1Toit2Äges.
Join us for an hour starting at 12:00 UTC on 30 September, 2022 to learn about the study coordinated by Cohabilis in France on the economic potential of inter-generational solidarity homesharing.
This study was carried out by three university researchers and a consulting firm. The objectives were to identify the economic “impacts” of the solidarity plan and to lay the first foundations of a sustainable economic model for the accompanying organisations.
This work has shown that, by encouraging mutual aid between generations, substantial savings can be made by young people and substantial savings for the social security fund. Further, according to data that we will present to you, the presence of a young person with a senior housemate has a very probable preventive effect. Finally, the study identified the potential for developing the scheme in France.
This conversation is open to everyone. The study will be presented by Joachim Pasquet, Directeur of Cohabilis, with opportunity for questions and discussion.

Congratulations to HANZA which has been invited by the New Zealand Office for Seniors to assist in implementing a Homeshare pilot program to be offered in a number of locations across the country. The Homeshare pilot is part of the New Zealand Government’s strategy for ageing, Better Later Life—He Oranga Kaumātua 2019 to 2034.
HANZA will be providing advice and support in a number of areas, including research, evaluation, training and resource development, working with the chosen providers to assist in planning and implementing successful Homeshare programs, as well as providing ongoing support once the programs are up and running.
It is with much disappointment and great reluctance that Homeshare International and THE HomeShare announce the cancellation of the Dublin World Homeshare Congress which was to have been held in May 2023.
This difficult decision is due to the uncertainty of Covid-19, current inflation and the high costs of accommodation for visitors and delegates in Dublin.
Events like conferences have been impossible to run or even plan with any confidence for the last 3 years.
We felt optimistic back in early 2021 that we could think ahead and start planning for a super congress in gorgeous Dublin – in Dublin Castle no less!
But the global financial uncertainty that we see unfolding before us now – less than 12 months out from our advertised conference dates – confronts us with such uncertainty and financial risk that we simply have no choice but to make this hard decision.
So back to the drawing board to plan for something achievable ON-LINE in 2023.
Homeshare International would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank local Homeshare programme, THE HomeShare, for all their hard work over the last 12 months.
We also thank the Irish Government, in particular the Department of Health, for their support of the Congress as well as Failte Ireland and Dublin City Council.
