Olive & Coop -
Living Better Together
Whether you are a senior homeowner looking for someone to help you with household chores or a renter looking for affordable living options, Olive & Coop has you covered! Our innovative house-sharing platform benefits both sides by offering lower rents, better living solutions and a stronger sense of community.
At Olive & Coop, we know aging alone can be a challenge. Based on our experience caring for our own parents, we created a novel house-sharing solution that connects older homeowners who want to age safely with conscientious renters willing to help around the home in exchange for lower rent. The benefits of Olive & Coop include assistance with household chores/tasks, additional monthly income, increased safety and social interaction. In addition, conscientious home sharers find more affordable living solutions. It is a practical and financially-wise living arrangement that enriches the lives of both homeowners and home sharers.
