HomeShare Woodstock connects home providers and home seekers to help people remain in their communities, strengthen bonds between neighbors, and create mutually beneficial, affordable housing solutions.
HomeShare Woodstock has a new logo and is expanding!
HomeShare Woodstock is an innovative program matching homeowners who have extra living space with home seekers looking for safe and affordable rental situations. Ours is the first home sharing program in the state outside of New York City and the concept is new for people in our area. But we have had lots of interest! And we now have six Matches benefitting sixteen people!
Our experiences since we opened our “doors” in 2022 have led us to expand our service area beyond Woodstock and our new logo reflects that expansion. We serve towns in a 10 mile radius of Woodstock, from Saugerties to parts of Shandaken. HomeShare Woodstock has become a viable solution for both home providers and home seekers in many towns.
“I am delighted to have welcomed my new housemate into my home, as his contributions extend beyond mere assistance; he has become a genuine pleasure to be around. The Homeshare program has not only facilitated a mutually beneficial living arrangement but has also enriched my life with a compatible and amiable companion. Kudos to Family of Woodstock for orchestrating such a well-organized and supportive program.”

We need Volunteers!
HomeShare Woodstock is a program of Family of Woodstock. Our skilled volunteers are a vital part of our thorough application vetting process. Volunteers conduct intake interviews and assist with background and reference checking. If you have experience such as social work training, we would love to introduce you to our Woodstock Area Interview Team!
