HousingMatch.org

HousingMatch.org is a 501c(3) nonprofit serving Massachusetts in the first membership based, roommate matching service. Our network was created by social workers, case managers, and housing advocates with the most vulnerable people in mind, the elderly, disabled, and families with children. 

Why we are different:

We put members security first. Unlike other for-profit classifieds ads sites where people post ads that are open to the public, our ads are posted privately-to be viewed by members only. Also, all members receive background check reports before they post their ads so everyone can be ready to share their information before they choose a roommate. 

The need:

With market rate rents on the rise and the lack of a living wage, low income households must wait years before they can obtain a housing voucher or subsidy. Many working families and elderly persons on fixed incomes cannot afford to live and work in urban areas without assistance. Even temporary rental assistance program are not enough to prevent a "rent burden" which is paying more than 30% of income on rent. Shared housing may be the only option available for many working people residing in the Greater Boston area.

Building community:

Help us create housing opportunities for those most in need with our free listing service. By networking with housing agencies and providers statewide, we can connect low income people with each other to build supportive households and stronger communities by sharing housing, food, rent, bills, childcare, and emotional support.

Give to the HousingMatch.org "Build the Website Fund": this fund allows us to complete our website and launch in the Winter of 2023. Your generous donation will provide free memberships for low income tenants so they can post and search ads on their private dashboards, and contact other members for shared housing.

We can only make this possible with your generous gift!

Please give to the HousingMatch.org  Website Build Fund and help us provide safe, affordable shared housing opportunities for low income families and individuals at risk of homelessness.
