Addressing Kootenai County's Growth & Housing Crisis

Homesharing Programs

Homesharing Program

"Homesharing enables two or more unrelated people to share housing for their mutual benefit. A person offers a private bedroom and shared common area in exchange for rent, help around the house, or a combination of the two. Every homesharing arrangement is unique. It’s about people helping people." - National Shared Housing Resource Center

HomeShare Kootenai County is a newly formed nonprofit serving residents of Kootenai County. For information on HomeShare Kootenai County visit www.homesharekc.org
