Become a Host

A space to share a
world to gain

Renting can help you turn your extra space into extra income
and pursue more of what you love without worrying.

Did you know?

50% of homeless youth in Metro-Vancouver have had experience with the foster care system and 11% indicated “aging out” of government care as the reason for first experiencing homelessness. Not having families supporting them makes it difficult for youth from care to enter housing markets and more prone to homelessness.

Approximately 1000 youth will leave BC government care each year.

“Renting my place through Aunt Leah’s has enabled me to be worry-free, have more time and spend more time with my family.”
