Housing is one of the three priority areas for action in the Better Later Life – He Oranga Kaumātua 2019 to 2034 strategy and its Action Plan. One of the housing actions is for the Office for Seniors to “promote the uptake of shared living arrangements”.
Homeshare Services is a new initiative that allows a householder (usually an older householder with a spare room) to offer low-cost accommodation to another person (a homesharer) in exchange for an agreed level of support. The support could include companionship, shopping, household tasks, gardening, care of pets, and help to use digital technology.
A homesharer is not a live-in carer, housekeeper or replacement for government or private personal care arrangements. Every homesharing arrangement is unique. It’s about people helping people.

Homeshare Services provides an opportunity to make a significant difference in the lives of older New Zealanders by creating diverse housing choices and options so that they can age in a place they call home, safely and, where possible, independently.
Providers have an opportunity to work with the Office to pilot the homeshare services model in New Zealand that offers an alternative housing option for them to age in place.

This tender has been awarded.
