Our Services
Personalized Search & Match Support
The information that you provide when you create your profile on Homeshare Online, including roommate and living preferences, work schedules, house rules, and other needs or requirements that you may have, is all factored into a unique compatibility rating for each of your matches.
Our HomeShare Oregon team is here to support and coach you as you create your profile and consider possible housemates.
Background Checks & Screening
Get to know your matches with secure in-app messaging.
Request a background check from potential housemates. You can take a background check yourself as a way to show your commitment to homesharing.
HomeShare Oregon participants receive complimentary background checks through Homeshare Online.
Homesharing Agreement Template
When you select your compatible housemate, use a homeshare agreement template to document all relevant details that will regulate your homesharing rules. This is the legal document that frames the rules and guidelines for homesharing.
Homeshare Online, which HomeShare Oregon owns, provides a homesharing agreement template when you match through our online platform.
Direct Support Provided by HomeShare Oregon
