HIP Housing, a non-profit organization with 36 years of housing experience, is reaching out to the community to promote its home sharing program. In tough economic times with rising housing, utility, gas and other expenses, home sharing helps to reduce costs and to save money. Two types of arrangements are facilitated: straight rent exchange and service exchange which involves helping with cooking, cleaning, companionship and other basic services in lieu of or for reduced rent. All clients are interviewed by experienced staff. They also interview each other and make their own decisions about selecting housemates. Resources on how to interview clients, Living Together Agreements, follow-up support and mediation are also available through this service.
