Single adults who are having difficulty maintaining their homes and/or don’t want to live alone, may share a home with another single adult who needs affordable housing and is willing to either make a financial contribution or perform services.

Housing counseling and/or opportunities for single individuals, one of whom must be over age 60, to share a house are available through three home share programs in Connecticut.     Applicants to the program are screened and interviewed by the program staff.   The staff introduces individuals found to be compatible, helps them to develop a home sharing- agreement, and offers follow-up counseling if a match is made.  If a home share arrangement is not appropriate, staff will counsel applicants, and/or refer them to other appropriate housing services.   Interested parties should call the program closest to them or in the area they wish to live.
