Do you know anyone looking for a housemate or renter, or trying to rent out a room in their home? HIP Housing’s non-profit Home Sharing program can help make that a safe, comfortable process. HIP Housing has given free, long-term support to those who need it most in San Mateo County for 42 years. This is especially important now, as our county has become one of the most expensive areas to live in within the United States. The need for extra income is a common one, and renting out a room in your home is a great way to reduce costs and help your community.

NEW: HIP Housing has received funding to provide an incentive to persons who have rooms for rent in San Mateo County. The incentive is $250 and is given 90 days after a home sharing client moves in with a home provider. If you know someone who has a room to rent, now is the time to put that extra spare room to good use, earn extra monthly income and receive an additional thank you bonus!
