Homesharing Hawaii

Hawaii Intergenerational Network (HIN) is a nonprofit organization founded in 1996. Homesharing Hawaii is the latest project of Hawaii Intergenerational Network (HIN) that addresses the issues of wellness and aging for Oahu’s senior citizens, and affordable housing for all. Its mission is to help people of all ages improve their lives by promoting and supporting intergenerational connections through programs, advocacy, action and employment.

Program Impact: Community Testimonial

HOMESHARING:  A FRESH ANSWER TO HOUSELESSNESS  

“The lack of progress in decreasing the housing crisis needs some fresh thinking and innovative solutions . . . However, there is great potential in a local home-sharing program offered by the non-profit HIN (Hawaii Intergenerational Network). It addresses two community concerns: kupuna who are living alone and people who need affordable housing.  Carefully matching people within these two groups and professionally monitoring each relationship, this project offers hope to those who are houseless and to kupuna who are living in vulnerable isolation.

As long as the economic gap between wages and housing costs continues, housing will be unaffordable for most Americans and houselessness an unjustifiable concern; when the basic needs of a community become a for-profit business (shelter, health, education) the quality of life for 99% of us decreases.”

– John Heidel, Kailua
