Home Share Oregon leads the way…

May be an image of monument and outdoors

In just two short years since starting their work, Home Share Oregon has over 900 registered Home Providers. They are also working on legislative changes to make homesharing more affordable for the providers. House Bill 3032 has successfully made it out of the Committee of Housing and Homelessness and into the Joint Committee on Tax Expenditures. Other States are following this with interest. We hope it will be emulated far and wide!

Homeshare service starts in Hungary

We are delighted to welcome Otthonmegosztás.hu to the HI Network. The programme was created to offer a solution for seniors (over 55) and young people (18-35) in Hungary.

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that Homeshare has been provided in Hungary.

Tips for new programmes

Don’t rush to make matches; be very careful about your first matches.

Your beginnings establish your reputation and your first matches become the benchmark that people use to define what they expect to experience.

Congratulations Homeshare Leicestershire

Homeshare Leicestershire began in September 2022

Roo explains: We started at the end of September this year! I was a Shared Lives Officer for years and loved the ethos of the service. We have such a demand on our Social Care service in Leicestershire that I decided that Homeshare would be a fabulous way to try and help people to feel happier and safer in their homes for longer…

They are eager to connect and share with other Homeshare programmes. Learn more about them at https://homeshare.org/hin-directory/homeshare-leicestershire and reach out to welcome and encourage them
