HomeShare Oregon Leading the Way in Affordable Housing Solutions |
While the push to construct more affordable housing continues, homesharing provides something different: a sustainable, community-centered solution to our current housing crisis that uses immediately available housing inventory. At HomeShare Oregon, we are committed to normalizing homesharing, fostering connections, and providing access to affordable housing for all. We want to help create resilient communities where everyone has a place to call home, and we are dedicated to leading this transformative movement. In an effort to better serve our participants, we're excited to share quite a few significant updates we've made to our platform and organization. |
