Do you have a below-market apartment, a suite or a room in the MetroWest MA area that you are willing to rent to an older adult or to a family in dire need? Can you use the extra income from sharing your space with someone else? Do you have parents who are able to provide an individual or family reduced rent in exchange for caregiving or assistance with homemaking chores? The JFS Home-Share Program may be for you.
The JFS Home-Share Program connects individuals and families who have extra space in their homes with others looking for affordable housing to rent. The success of these arrangements comes from wrap-around support provided by experienced, dedicated caseworkers who facilitate home-share applications and prospective home-sharers’ introductions; provide pre- and post-cohabitation coaching; coordinate and facilitate moving; and assist home-sharers with ongoing access to needed services, benefits, etc. to ensure that new house mates are able to live together safely and harmoniously.
