HousingMatch.org is getting ready to launch our website to help persons at risk of homelessness post their ads for roommates wanted. We are forming our supported shared housing network to serve those who may become displaced during this health and economic crisis. We anticipate an unprecedented increase in homelessness due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Help us get our website up and running this summer by beta testing our user dashboards for functionality. The testing is easy, takes 1 hour to complete, and requires the volunteer to have a laptop or computer, internet access, and email address. Please respond with the date(s) you are available.
The dates of beta testing are as follows:
Thursday, 6/11 1:00pm-2:00pm EST
Thursday, 6/18 1:00pm-2:00pm EST
Thursday, 6/25 1:00pm-2:00pm EST
Please note that the times are Eastern Standard Time. Before you respond, check that you will be available within your time zone.

Mission Statement
To provide a network for families and individuals to share housing; obtain resources and services; secure healthy, safe, affordable homes; and reduce homelessness.
Description
HousingMatch.org is a private online community for families and individuals who seek to share housing. Our network provides additional case manager support, privacy, and security.
Many tenants cannot afford to live in Boston because rents take up 50-75% of their monthly income. They live month to month hanging by a thread. HousingMatch.org is forming a network for social services agencies, housing agencies, tenants, and landlords that can offer an option for families and individuals to connect with others who are in the same situation. By joining online directly or with a case manager referral, families can meet other families and individuals to connect using the HousingMatch.org database which will be shared privately between members only. People in need can share housing, access resources, and build a private online community that offers them safe, affordable housing. Help us build Boston's first shared housing network and open the door to shared housing opportunities utilizing a safe, private, supported online network.
