Homesharing is a simple idea where two or more people share a home for mutual benefit. A person offers a private bedroom and shared common space in exchange for rent, help around the home or a combination of the two. HomeShare Vermont is based in Burlington Vermont and has decades of experience in facilitating safe and lasting home shares. They’ve expanded to offer this programming incrementally across the state by partnering with local organizations. In 2025, Windham & Windsor Housing Trust launched our partnership with HomeShare and have one of our Homeownership Specialists trained to assist in finding successful matches in our region!
