How we match
1. Application & Interview Once you've submitted an inquiry to HSM, we'll send out an application form for you to complete. If you qualify for the service, we'll then arrange a face-to-face interview with one of our coordinators. |
2. Safeguarding Ensuring a safe and suitable arrangement for both the Householder and the Homesharer is important. We'll inspect the home prior to finding a suitable match and will manage introductions with potential matches. |
3. Matching All matches must undergo two reference checks and a police check prior to entering into an agreement. The Home Share Agreement outlines the expectations of both parties and are signed prior to moving into the home. |
4. Monitoring & review Regular contact is made with both the Householder and Homesharer for a minimum of 6 months of the match to ensure things are going well. A review of the match is completed at the six month mark including a review of ongoing support. |
Other services
Asylum seekers
Home Share Melbourne are working with the City of Port Phillip Council and Flatmates.com.au to match asylum seekers with community members who have spare bedrooms in their homes. Opening up safe and affordable (or free) housing to asylum seekers fills a gap in services funded by government and Councils and fulfils our mission to ensure that everyone in our community should have a safe place to call home.

Young people
Home Share Melbourne believes in the homeshare model and sees it's capacity to change lives. To date we have housed one young person in a homeshare arrangement, which led on to her gaining stable housing and employment. We hope to house many more young people in the future with the assistance of grants and donations.
