Find Libraries🏡 Housing Beyond Emergency Shelter
Not everyone is looking for a nightly shelter. Some people need a permanent home, a compatible household, or an arrangement where people share space and support one another voluntarily.
SHONnetwork is being developed to help people discover those possibilities, including homesharing, companionship, cooperative households, and community-building opportunities.
🌐 Building a Better Resource Network
Our longer-term goal is to make SHONnetwork a useful gateway to verified resources from national, state, local, nonprofit, and community organizations.
We envision searchable assistance directories, regularly updated program information, and tools that help people discover services relevant to their actual circumstances.
