HomeSharing Appears in National Newspapers The recent increase of foreclosures and problems within the banking industry have resulted in a new housing 'crisis'. More homeowners nationwide are now considering a choice: whether to take in a boarder to keep their homes or move out of the home they've lived in for years. A recent New York Times front page news story describes the delimma several homeowners faced when their personal financial situations deteriorated. With their homes at risk, more homeowners considered taking in boarders for additional income. For the July 16th article, the NY Times contacted several homesharing agencies including ours. A NY Times reported spoke to Renee Drell, executive director of HomeSharing, Inc. (Bridgewater, NJ) to learn about homesharing in Somerset and Hunterdon counties. Portions of the article have been copied to a pdf file and can be found on our GALLERY page.

NY Times 7/16/08 - Homes at Risk HomeSharing, Inc. appears near the end of the second page. HomeSharing was also mentioned in the July 19, 2008, Daytona Beach NewsJournal. In a letter to the Editor a woman, who had recently moved from central New Jersey to Florida, wrote about her success with HomeSharing. For close to three years, she used homesharing as a method of keeping her home, calling it a "wonderful program". She felt that such a program might be helpful in Florida, which is seeing an unusually high number of foreclosures. She also mentions homesharing as a helpful solution for those who need an affordable place to live.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
