Home Share Oregon

ByTom Atkinson March 11, 2022March 22, 2022

Home Share Oregon is a 501c3 organization designed to prevent the rising number of homeless Oregonians. They help homeowners keep their homes and reduce mortgage burdens while creating more affordable rental units through our hybrid, online home-sharing program. Home Share Oregon functions on the premise that owner-occupied homes with an available spare bedroom constitute underutilized housing inventory. By matching people who have a spare room with people who need a place to live, we can make a significant difference for our community during the current housing crisis.

You can learn more about Home Share Oregon by visiting their website and reading the two informational flyers embedded here.
