Improves Mental, Social and Emotional Well-Being
Tenants Save on Rent
"Half of U.S. renters now spend more than 30% of their income on rent and utilities (Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies, 2024)."
"ResidAlly room pricing follows HUD Fair Market Rent data — a furnished room in a shared home typically runs 40–50% of the cost of a full two-bedroom apartment."
"48% of college students experience housing insecurity, and 79% of those who dropped out cite money or basic needs (The Hope Center, 2024). Lower housing costs keep students in school."
Financial Benefits to Homeowners
"Beyond the mortgage, the hidden costs of owning a home — taxes, insurance, maintenance — now average $21,400 a year (Bankrate, 2025)."
"Americans over 62 hold a record $14.66 trillion in home equity — most of it locked in the house itself. A spare room is one of the only ways to turn that value into monthly income without selling or borrowing (NRMLA, 2025)."
"Furnished rooms on ResidAlly list for $400–$1,200+ per month, depending on city, room, and features."
Social Benefits to Young Adults
"75% of adults 50 and over want to stay in their own homes as they age (AARP, 2024). Homesharing helps make that possible."
"UK homeshare householders name companionship, reduced loneliness, and the comfort of someone else in the house at night as the top benefits (Homeshare UK)."
"Homesharing tenants in the UK's national program report a safe place to live and the feeling of giving back to their community (Homeshare UK)."
Wellbeing Benefits
"The U.S. Surgeon General calls loneliness an epidemic: lacking social connection raises the risk of heart disease by 29%, stroke by 32%, and dementia in older adults by 50% (U.S. Surgeon General's Advisory, 2023)."
"Lacking social connection carries a health risk comparable to smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day (U.S. Surgeon General, 2023)."
"Across 3.4 million people studied, living alone was associated with a 32% higher risk of early death — a bigger risk factor than loneliness itself (Holt-Lunstad et al., 2015).”
The Sharing Economy Comes Home
"In 2008, Airbnb started with air mattresses on a San Francisco apartment floor. Today: over 5 million hosts and more than 2 billion guest stays (Airbnb, 2025)."
"Uber launched in 2009 with one app. It now moves over 13 billion trips a year across 70 countries (Uber, 2025)."
"America's biggest untapped asset is still waiting: 137 million spare bedrooms — the most unused housing in the country's history (Apartment List analysis of Census data)."

HOME SHARING GUIDES & RESOURCES
Your guide to home sharing in Texas — from preparing your spare room to settling into your first shared home, with practical help at every step.
About Us
Our Mission
Helping Texas homeowners share their homes with screened tenants — extra income for one, a welcoming home for the other, and companionship for both.
I have practiced medicine in Lubbock since 2018, and in my clinic I kept seeing the same two problems living next door to each other: homeowners with empty bedrooms and rising costs, and working people who could not find a decent furnished room for a few months.
I built ResidAlly so they can solve each other's problem - with real screening on both sides, attorney-prepared leases, and a local team behind every arrangement.
When I'm not with patients, you'll find me exploring local parks, attending community events, and trying out Lubbock
restaurants.
