Subscribers are individuals who are interested in homeshare and want to learn more about it. They receive information through emails and are among the first to learn of new development and events. They have the opportunity to participate in our Congresses and other activities, and may be given an opportunity for input on specific subjects.
People who are interested in starting a new Homeshare programme should join as Subscribers or Associate Members in order to keep informed of new developments.
Membership fee: free.
