Why Share Housing? →
Do you want to share housing but find the transition scary?
Having a housemate is a big transition. Change requires energy and willingness to accept uncertainty, which we don't like to do. We much prefer our lives to be predictable. It's pretty common to deny that there's a need to change until the current situation is so uncomfortable that we have to do something about it. Don't wait.
Finding a compatible home-mate isn't luck — it's a skill, and it can be learned. We've spent years turning what works into a guidebook, self-paced classes, and real stories from people who've done it themselves. Wherever you're starting from, there's a next step for you below.
