5 Parker Point Rd, Blue Hill, ME, 04614

Healthy Peninsula will host a free hybrid event at the Blue Hill Library’s Howard Room, also streaming via Zoom at the Brooksville and Ellsworth Libraries as well as at the Deer Isle and Stonington town halls. The event will focus on how Home Sharing is one way to address Maine’s severe shortage of affordable housing. A representative of MaineHousing will be at the event as well as the founder of third-party organization Nesterly, Maine’s Home Sharing Pilot Program will provide information about this program and answer questions community members may have.

Nesterly is an online matching platform that connects homeowners with available space with renters seeking affordable, longterm living arrangements while also benefiting older residents wanting to remain in their homes.
