We were in a brutal housing crisis before the pandemic. And now?

Housing costs have exploded throughout our region, and more of us than ever can't afford to remain in the homes and neighborhoods we know and love.

Join us in:


  • quickly creating fair, affordable housing so that our neighbors can live where they choose (aging-in-place, resisting displacement)


  • and making the carbon and resources that built and run each home go twice as far


  • and developing lifelong interpersonal and intergenerational skills and connections (meaning better health, too!)

Our Mission

HomeShare American River serves to facilitate safe, fair, and durable lodging arrangements that meet the particular needs for housing and household services of a diverse range of otherwise under-served individuals and communities, while also generating a bounty of other personal and community benefits.
