WHAT’S THE PROCESS AND WHEN WILL THE ARRANGEMENT START

Following a review of your Application, as a Householder you are invited to discuss your specific needs in more detail with your Supportmatch Coordinator. Suitable Homeshare candidates are then introduced who match your needs, requirements, interests and personality criteria.

As a Homesharer you are assigned a Supportmatch Coordinator with whom you share your requirements, work or study commitments and general preferred living locations.

Homesharer candidates are introduced to available Householders if they are able to meet a Householders needs and requirements on several significant levels, criteria and characteristics.

Meetings between Householder and suitable Homesharers is arranged, initially this is usually a video conference followed by supervised in-person meetings so that both parties can get to know one another a little better.

Following those meetings and discussions, if both parties are happy and have made a decision to go ahead with the Homeshare arrangement, we then issue contracts that ensure both parties have peace of mind as to the agreed arrangement.
