HomeSharing is not an immediate form of shelter or housing. The match process takes a couple of months and is directed by the home provider.

If you are in immediate or near-term need for housing, please access the following resources, as appropriate.

 

• If you are facing housing insecurity on the horizon and are living in a place with some spare space, you can become a home provider to help you STAY IN YOUR HOME. You can do this by engaging in the HomeShare process. HomeShare provides the tools for you to find a good boarder to help pay bills, perform maintenance and upkeep of your shared home and gain some companionship.

• Find out more about HomeShare by sending us an email at admin@homeshareccwa.org or call and leave a message at 360-702-2796
