In preparation of our 10/14 Home Sharing Forum https://www.phinneycenter.org/calendar/home-sharing-a-new-model-for-the-community/
we encourage you to check out some of our panelists in advance. Panelists include:
Silvernest
Housing Resources on Bainbridge Island
Shared Housing Services in Tacoma
And we’ll have special guest Gene Balk, who writes the FYI Guy column for The Seattle Times!

Silvernest pairs homeowners who have extra space in their homes with long-term housemates, enabling them to stay in the homes they love, earn extra income (average of $10,000 a year) and provide affordable housing to those who need it. Silvernest handles all aspects of the process – roommate compatibility matching, background screens, lease creation and more.
