Hey everyone! Whether you are a regular here at Loving Later Life or a newbie, listen closely to this episode because you may discover an alternative housing idea for you or someone you know. If you live alone, have you ever thought “Gee, it would be nice to have someone else around because I'm feeling a bit isolated.” Or you've experienced not feeling well, wishing there were someone to be there to give you a hand with things? Or after paying your bills, found yourself thinking it would be nice if you didn't have to pay the entire amount? Well listen up because my guest Annamarie Pluhar has a possible solution for you. Annamarie advocates for adults, especially older singles, to have a “home-mate,” someone with whom they can share a home with one or more people for the benefits of cost, company, cooperation, and comfort. She is the founder of the nonprofit, Sharing Housing, Inc. and the author of Sharing Housing, A Guidebook for Finding and Keeping Good Housemates. She has 30 years of experience in corporate and non-profit consulting, group facilitation, training development, and delivery. She is a graduate of Vassar College and The Episcopal Divinity School and she lives in Dummerston, Vermont. Please join us, and please share this episode if you think of someone who could benefit from hearing it!

Do you want to share housing but find the transition scary? We often live in shared housing when we are single: college, roommates in camp, at conferences, during our early careers. Living with housemates as we age is no different. Annamarie Pluhar, 70, is a well-spoken advocate for shared housing and offers valuable ways of thinking to simplify the process. After receiving her Masters in Divinity, then working in a corporation, facilitating large groups, Annamarie started a non-profit to promote the importance of shared housing. She consults with organizations, housing professionals, the aging network and local officials who are seeking to develop shared housing in their communities. The twin crises of high housing costs and an increase in social isolation combine to render cooperative living arrangements an excellent solution.  "Housemates are not the same as roommates."By providing education, advocacy, and model development she empowers individuals to choose, create and sustain shared housing. She envisions a world in which sharing housing is a commonly accepted living arrangement and individuals feel happy, safe and at peace with home-mates.One idea—a building for seniors with 4 bedroom suites for 3 people. The extra suite might be for guests or caretakers. Everyone shares the kitchen and living space.Last summer (2023) Annamarie lost her partner of 23 years and is currently renovating her home to make it more comfortable for sharing. She lives in southern Vermont.Connect with Annamarie:Book: Sharing Housing: A Guidebook for Finding and Keeping Good HousematesWebsite: sharinghousing.comEmail:  annamarie@sharinghousing.org

Today on the Strong Towns Podcast, host Chuck Marohn is speaking with special guest Annamarie Pluhar. Pluhar is an expert on co-housing and shared housing, and is the author of the book Sharing Housing: A Guidebook for Finding and Keeping Good Housemates. Despite the fact that practically the entire nation is experiencing a housing crisis, 27% of homes in the U.S. are single occupancy. In other words, one in four adults lives alone, and this is a serious cause of social isolation for many people. Shared housing can be a solution not only for addressing our scarcity of housing, but also for relieving psychological distress for a significant portion of the population. A Strong Town should have many different options for housing. Pluhar shares her expertise on how we can begin including co-housing among those choices, and how the transition to shared housing doesn't have to be intimidating for individuals.
