In San Franscisco
“If I wasn’t able to take in a roommate like this, I’d have to leave this city — maybe go live with family in Los Angeles,” Allenby said. “And I don’t want to go there. I love San Francisco. This is my home, and this is how I stay here.”
Tell the HomeShare Story!
We are so proud of our HI Network members and their creativity in telling the Homeshare story. Enjoy this great example from THE HomeShare…

Well done, Lucie!

Homeshare Vermont
Carol spent decades teaching in Vermont. Katie was moving to Vermont to take a teaching position at UVM. They found each other through HomeShare Vermont. Carol feels like she’s gained another daughter… one who can take care of her cat when she travels to visit her four children. Katie now has an unofficial tour guide of Vermont and a wonderful place to live while she’s teaching here. Read their story in Homeshare Vermont’s February Newsletter.
