HomeShare International

HI Network

Some of the Network members and other delegates at the Trento congress in September 2024.

The Homeshare International Network (HIN) exists to support and promote homeshare around the world. Members come from 4 continents, 14 countries and encompass almost 150 programmes. Together they:

  • share information and experience
  • learn from homeshare programmes around the world
  • inspire others to develop homeshare in their communities

Join the international homeshare community! The HIN has a place for everyone, whatever their relationship with homeshare.

There are two categories of membership:

Core Membership

Core members are existing homeshare programmes committed to providing a high quality matching service. HIN Core Members offer different models of homeshare, but these all include accommodation in exchange for help in the home. Members may be individual programmes or an umbrella organisation with multiple programmes, and they all feature in our Directory. Find out more and apply to join.

Associate Membership

This is for anyone with an interest in homeshare including individuals, organisations working in associated fields and researchers. In short, association membership means everyone can join the international homeshare movement! Find our more and apply to join
