Home Sharing Program

Intergenerational Home Share Program has a core value of intergenerational cohesion, bringing together different generations to foster relationships and create understanding. Our program aims to promote the affordability of higher education, equity among a growing diverse population, and to facilitate social connections with the next generation of NYU students.
