VABVI Presents: HomeShare Vermont

VABVI is delighted to host HomeShare Vermont for an informative evening about creating connections through a unique and affordable housing option.
HomeShare Vermont has been matching people who have room in their homes with those seeking an affordable place to live for over 40 years. They conduct background and reference checks and then help create compatible matches. HomeShare hosts can ask for rent and/or help with household tasks, such as cooking, yardwork, housekeeping, snow removal, pet care or running errands. For guests, this is an affordable alternative to renting.
Come learn about this special program and the many ways it connects Vermonters with support, resources, and housing around our state.
