Home & Heart is an affordable housing solution that matches adults in Butte County who have a room to share, with individuals in need of affordable housing. While H&H prioritize services for older adults, their program is open to all eligible adults who have room to share (home providers) or those seeking affordable housing (home seekers). Home share participants receive support throughout the life of the match including mediation or assistance with renegotiating the living together agreement as needed. Here are some folks looking for homeshare opportunities this spring:

They are offering a separate three-bedroom house to rent out for free in exchange for companionship, cooking, housekeeping, transportation, and grocery shopping, and laundry.  These providers are looking for an individual or family who would have the ability to cook regular meals and be around to provide respite care. The have one dog and one cat, and would consider pets on a case by case basis. The future housemate must be vaccinated. No smoking, females preferred.

She is looking for a mixed arrangement and is asking $300 in rent (utilities included) and three hours a week in housekeeping and companionship.
