Homesharing for the Elderly

University of Wisconsin-Madison

Elderly people often have needs which younger people do not have, for financial assistance, security, companionship, and help with activities of daily living These needs can be met in a variety of ways, a number of which involve innovative hous ing arrangements. This article will focus particularly on homesharing as a housing option, whereby older people with room to spare in their homes share their housing with others, either for rent or in exchange for services The study is based on a national survey of administrators of 35 homesharing programs and on in-depth, face to face interviews with homeproviders and live-ins in one program.
