Housing Providers are homeowners or renters (typically older adults) who want to share their homes, and have at least one available bedroom. Housing Providers join the program to share their homes with compatible, pre-screened Housing Seekers who can pay a monthly rent for the available room, offer assistance with household chores, or both. Housing Providers must be mentally, emotionally, physically and financially self-sufficient.
Housing Seekers are adults of all ages who may not wish to live alone or cannot afford to do so. They may be retired, employed, or students. They must be mentally, emotionally, physically and financially self-sufficient. Currently, the average age of our Housing Seekers is 65.
Elder HelpLv acts as an intermediary to screen both providers and seekers, match compatible roommates, roommates execute a roommate agreement and monitor ongoing matches
