Two models, one housing gap: Rethinking housing in the Pacific Northwest

Tue, September 15, 2026
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM PT
Online event

What if part of the Pacific Northwest’s housing solution is already here? Join Suzanne Vetillart of PadSplit and Candice AD Smith, CEO of HomeShare Oregon, for a conversation about how home sharing and coliving can unlock existing housing, expand affordable options, and help more people remain in the communities they call home. A key focus will be aging in place and the opportunity within underused bedrooms in senior-owned homes. We’ll explore how home sharing can provide additional income for homeowners while creating safe, affordable housing for people who might otherwise be priced out. We’ll also compare home sharing with PadSplit’s rent-by-room model and go inside Portland’s home-sharing pilot with the Mayor’s office, including early lessons, demand, and what comes next. Come ready to learn. Leave with a clearer picture of how existing homes can help solve the Pacific Northwest’s housing shortage.

“The company’s mission to leverage housing as a vehicle for financial independence is a great one. The best thing about PadSplit is the cash flow, which has far and away been better pound-for-pound than anything else that I've experienced. It’s just fantastic.”
