In London’s skyrocketing rent market, Maria’s paying just £200 a month to live in a prime spot—by sharing her home with 83-year-old Hazel. Maria helps Hazel with chores and errands in exchange for a small fee to the agency, while Hazel gains companionship and practical support. It’s a win-win: Maria saves money for her own place, Hazel feels safer and happier, and they even get free dental advice. Another program, Hapipod, matches younger people with seniors for similar arrangements—like Stephen, an 80-something, living with Deborah, who pays him below-market rent. These homeshare setups are gaining traction as housing costs soar and people age, offering financial relief, independence, and community—all while turning everyday help into something deeply human.
