Jewish Family & Career Services (JF&CS) of Atlanta recently launched HomeShare ATL, a service that matches older adults with home-sharers in Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton, and Gwinnett counties. The program, which is the only one of its kind in Georgia, serves all people regardless of their race, religion, gender or nationality, offering housing options to older adults who may need more home support but do not require assisted living or skilled nursing services.

“The need for senior house-sharing is on the rise,” says Jean Cohen, the new program’s manager and matchmaker. “Atlanta is home to one of the fastest growing senior communities in the country, and HomeShare ATL is an innovative solution for many older adults who want to continue to live independently in their own homes.”
