We love sharing our match stories! Yesterday we had our volunteer photographer, Emma, visit a couple of our matches to capture their home share on camera. Heartfelt home share stories coming soon! 🥰🏡

We hear this everyday. So many of our clients have had finances turn upside down and home sharing helps them bridge their economic gap

Like so many older adults, Jaimee juggles multiple jobs to make ends meet. AARP recently spoke with the 52-year-old Florida resident, who is juggling jobs as an actress, personal trainer, brand ambassador, and insurance representative.

“What I wish for myself is that I would eventually be able to retire, but it’s highly unlikely. Everything is so expensive,” she said.

Jaimee's story isn’t uncommon. Across the country, people are working hard every day and still feeling the pressure of rising costs. Find resources that could help you or someone you love make ends meet: http://spr.ly/6189B8qRBJ.

At Sunshine Home Share we often focus on the impacts of home sharing on our Home Providers, those 55+ sharing their homes. We know our Home Providers that are matched gain income to support their daily needs, reduce their social isolation, and get the physical help they need around their home to age in place longer.

We often don't mention the real impacts on our Home Seekers that are able to attain affordable housing and grow their economic mobility in our high cost Denver economy.

Operation Hope recently studied Gen Z and Millennial adults and their view on their financial outlook, "the results reveal a widening gap between traditional financial guidance and the economic realities younger generations face, with 7 in 10 indicating wealth is out of reach as survival spending becomes the norm. This points not only to the importance of financial education, but the need to meet these younger adults where they are, creating new- and realistic- pathways to achieve the American Dream."

We see through our matched Home Seekers how home sharing is a "new- and realistic" intervention to support younger generations reach their financial goals!

Happy Last Day of Internship to our wonderful MSW intern, Mason! ❤🤗👏
Mason has spent 400+ hours with Sunshine since September 2025 and has supported our home share work in countless ways. She trained our staff on recent cognitive impairment/dementia diagnoses, attended Board Meetings, tabled at resource fairs, completed (many!) intakes, and supported our program participants through their home share journey by facilitating match meetings, home share agreements, and match check-ins.
Thank you, Mason, we are so grateful for you!
