Creating a new way for Canadians to live together through home sharing

SpacesShared.ca, a Toronto

based company, might have

the perfect solution to some

of the challenges we've

recently been

The challenges: Housing

shortages, inflation, an aging

population and social isolation.

The solution: Home sharing

through SpacesShared.ca

Rylan Kinnon, a student

advocate, public servant,

technology exec and consult-

ant and Jackie Tanner, a social

worker ecializin in eron-

tology co-founded SpacesShared.ca to help address

the above challenges through their modern

approach to home sharing.

SpacesShared, in partnership with universities and

colleges across Canada, helps connect students

(Guests) looking for safe, and affordable housing

with Hosts who have a spare bedroom and an

interest in sharing it with a younger person. Guests

pay Hosts rent and, if both are amenable, a discount

on rent can be offered to the Guest in exchange for

help around the house.

SpacesShared's platform enables Hosts and

Guests to register and complete a profile which is

then run through a sophisticated algorithm,

designed and overseen by social workers, to

"match" the two based on self-identified interests,

preferences and lifestyle factors. Meeti ngs

are coordinated through the platform, and

background and criminal checks are run to ensure

everyone's safety.

The SpacesShared team Stays in touch from "match

to move-out" to ensure all is going smoothly

Home sharing has been

around for a very long time

and is a norm in many

cultures globally. Its time has

come now in Canada. We all

want to age in place, remaining

connected to our com-

munities; many are finding it

challenging to stay ahead of

the bills.

clear: Students get safe,

affordable, home-like settings.

Hosts get companionship,

extra income and some help

around the house.
