Shared Housing Matchmaking Schemes as a Housing Early Intervention
Parity, Vol.34(8), pp.27-28

Abstract
There is an increasing number of older single women in Australia experiencing housing insecurity. This article briefly outlines an early intervention strategy that is being developed which offers a web‑based introduction platform for women over 55 years of age to self-match into shared housing arrangements. This alternative pathway to ‘home’ enables sharing of housing and the associated expenses while providing companionship. The initiative provides this at-risk demographic access to peer support and enables self-efficacy to avoid crisis housing interventions.
