Shared Housing for Seniors

Senior citizens, who often no longer need as much space as they did raising their families, can share their homes, or move in with another person. The roommates need not be seniors.

One program that helps match seniors with other unrelated adults in mutually beneficial home sharing arrangements is the Tompkins County Office for the Aging's Housing Options for Seniors Today (HOST) Homesharing Program.
