Whether you have an empty room in the Outer Richmond or need affordable rent near San Francisco State University, our free shared housing program connects you with your ideal living arrangement.
Finding housing in San Francisco doesn’t have to mean compromising your budget or your peace of mind. As a dedicated home-sharing program, our service is 100% free to all participants, fully funded by private foundations, corporate sponsorships, grants, and government contracts.
