Offering the opportunity for two individuals to share their lives and their homes, Homeshare breaks down loneliness and isolation across generations.
Thanks to funding from Ecclesiastical Movement for Good, Homeshare UK will now be supporting the development of Homeshare in Scotland during 2021/2022. Typically it supports older people to live in their own homes for longer and younger people to access affordable accommodation, with both sharing aspects of their lives for mutual benefit.
To get the programme off of the ground in the next 12 months we will be:
- working with groups of older and young people, commissioners and delivery partners to develop feasibility studies in three areas of Scotland
- creating a network of Homeshare champions in Scotland to promote the concept of Homeshare and act as ambassadors for the model.
Following the delivery of the feasibility studies we will work with organisations to:
- develop a Homeshare model that works for them
- identify funding streams to help the start up of their Homeshare model
- develop their own five year delivery plans
- join the Homeshare UK Network
