🏡 Have extra space in your home or looking for a housing arrangement with companionship and support?

The Grand Traverse County Home Share Network is exploring ways to connect individuals with room to spare in their homes with those seeking housing in exchange for rent, shared household duties, and/or companionship.

Their goal is to help seniors remain in their homes longer, reduce housing insecurity, and build trusted community connections throughout our area.

Join the conversation at the Senior Home Share Input Session:

📅 Thursday, June 4
⏰ 3:00–4:00 PM
📍 GTC Senior Center
801 E. Front Street

This session is open to anyone interested in learning more or sharing feedback about the possibility of a local home share network.
