Housing and shelter can be a daunting challenge, but working together, we can find ways to meet this need with resources already available to us. HomeShare is a new HRB program and provides an innovative and simple model to help each other -- neighbor to neighbor.
HomeShare matches those with space available in their homes who need extra income or assistance with those who work on the island and need an affordable housing opportunity. HRB provides support by screening applicants and matching them with local residents, thereby taking the burden off the homeowner.
