WORK HISTORY
Executive Director @Homeshare Oregon
Portland, OR, US
The mission of HSO is to disrupt the housing crisis by encouraging and incentivizing homeowners to become a valuable part of the solution. By putting to work underutilized housing inventory, i.e, spare bedrooms, Home Share Oregon will expand access to affordable housing for vulnerable populations and keep people who are mortgage burdened in their homes. By educating homeowners about the benefits of home sharing, and connecting people and fostering independence, Home Share Oregon will become a critical piece of the “puzzle” to alleviating the affordable housing crisis without the need for new infrastructure or raising a single tax dollar.
