CLBC is supporting the creation of an independent nonprofit society for home sharing that will benefit home sharing providers and provide a more positive experience for those living in home share.
The role of the new society for home sharing will include:
- increased public awareness to attract the interest of potential home sharing providers
- recruitment of home sharing providers from rural and remote locations and culturally under-represented groups
- increased networking, training, and education opportunities for home sharing providers.
- finding solutions to the challenges of respite services
- strengthening peer-support connections to help prevent isolation and home sharing provider burnout.
The new nonprofit society will maintain a board of directors that aims to bring together home sharing providers, people living in home share, CLBC and other stakeholders to continuously improve home sharing for everyone involved.
