Accommodation

How does it work?

    • Shared Lives Hosts are expected to provide accommodation which the person using Shared Lives will rent from the host
    • The person will have their own key to the home.
    • As the person is renting the room from you, the host, they may ask for their room to be more personalised to their tastes
    • People living in Shared Lives cannot share their room with another person unless they are a couple and wish to do so
