Every community has to have a questionnaire to guide the roommate matching process. This is like speed dating: start by finding out who might fit on paper. Consider: pets, children, disability status, tastes and personalities, etc? - Kris Freed @LAFamilyHousing #NAEH2021
You have to train your staff on housing: what is the state of the local housing market in your area? What resources are available? And why is shared housing one option that could work for them? Your staff must be housing experts. - Kris Freed @LAFamilyHousing #NAEH2021
We know shared housing is more affordable, but it's also more sustainable for people with limited income, and opens up access to better neighborhoods, with better schools and transportation. - Kris Freed @LAFamilyHousing #NAEH2021
