Every home-sharing arrangement is unique. Some homeowners are looking for companionship, extra income, or occasional help around the home. Home seekers may be seeking affordable housing, a supportive environment, and an opportunity to contribute to the household and community.
Our role is to help bring people together by:
• Conducting interviews and screening applicants
• Checking references and background information
• Identifying compatible matches
• Facilitating introductions
• Providing support throughout the process
We also help participants establish clear expectations regarding shared spaces, guests, household responsibilities, transportation, meal preparation, and other day-to-day considerations. We provide guidance, conversation tools, and sample agreements to help create a strong foundation for a successful home-sharing arrangement.
Please note that Home Share Costa Mesa is not a substitute for personal care services, nursing care, or emergency housing. Participants are independent adults who are seeking a mutually beneficial living arrangement.
Our mission is to facilitate safe, thoughtfully matched home-sharing arrangements that foster connection, support independence, expand housing opportunities, and strengthen our community one home at a time.
