A homeshare involves two people with different sets of needs. Both of them will have something to offer which can help to meet each other's needs.

• Firstly, people who have a home that they are willing to share. They may need some help and support with tasks such as cooking and cleaning. Or maybe they simply feel the need for companionship. These people are known as householders.
• Secondly, people who need accommodation. They will be willing to give up to a maximum of ten hours a week of their time and help in exchange for somewhere to stay. These people are known as homesharers.
