Vashon Household HomeShare Program

Vashon Household current project is the construction of 14 affordable homes for low-income first-time buyers. Sunflower Community Land Trust (CLT), built in partnership with Northwest Housing Development, will be the first Vashon Household project to earn a Built-Green rating.

Vashon Household Homeshare Partners connects people who are interested in sharing their home with another Islander seeking a home.  We require detailed applications, references, and background checks to make the process of finding a housemate more manageable.  All information is kept confidential.  When a person seeks a Homeshare situation through Homeshare Partners, they are drawing from a select group of qualified applicants, rather than the very broad reach of a public listing such as Craig’s List.

Our greatest need is to enroll additional home providers in the program.  Please explore the concept with your circle of friends and acquaintances.
 
* Are you interested in supporting affordable housing on Vashon?
* Do you have an extra room in your house with access to a bathroom and    kitchen?
* Would you benefit from additional monthly income?
* Would you benefit from services such as help with housework, cooking, petcare, gardening etc.? 
                             
Homesharing is an option for all ages.  For both housemates, homesharing offers a more affordable way of living, the security of another person in the home, and the opportunity to create a lifelong friendship.

Anyone who is interested in applying as a home provider or a home seeker may contact Barbara Brown at 206-463-4880 x704 to request an application.
