Let’s Talk Homesharing… and Share a Lunch! Sunday, January 4, 2026 11:45 am-2:00 pm at First Unitarian. Sign up here or email caring@fusden.org that you’re attending so we bring enough lunch..
We tend to think of homelessness as a remote problem facing other people. But affordable sustainable housing challenges stability for our own families, neighbors, and friends. Meanwhile, millions of bedrooms sit empty every night. And loneliness is an epidemic across age spectra and social classes throughout our increasingly segmented society.
On January 4 the Caring Committee is hosting Stephanie Firestone, an urban planner who worked extensively with the American Association of Retired Persons in Washington, D.C. Stephanie will tell us about innovative home-sharing ideas that work around the world. She will also gather our ideas about what might work in our Denver community. This can be a nitty-gritty discussion about barriers that exist and incentives or investments that can make home-sharing viable. She will report those ideas to the Denver Regional Council of Governments as input to their efforts to create affordable housing options. We’ll provide lunch and the speaker; you bring the lively conversation. Calendar this as one of your first efforts in the new year to strengthen the foundations of community for all of us!
