    Students looking for a safe, affordable place to stay can now quickly and affordably connect with older adult hosts who would like some extra income, help around the house, and an opportunity to give back.

    Colleges in Corner Brook have joined Grenfell Campus to create SpacesShared, which is responding to the Canadian housing crisis with a solution that prioritizes connection, comfort, and community. Students looking for a safe, affordable place to stay can now quickly and affordably connect with older adult hosts who would like some extra income, help around the house, and an opportunity to give back. There will be an open information session starting 4 o’clock today at Academy Canada.
