Heaven’s story
After relocating to Atlanta and facing challenges in finding affordable housing, Heaven found herself living in her car.
“As a woman, PadSplit lifted my fear of being homeless, trying to make it, and finding a place to sleep. As women, we always have to worry about our safety and what can happen to us. PadSplit is helping other women out there who are going through it in life,” says Heaven.
Nene’s experience
“The best part [about PadSplit] is the security—cameras, rules, double locks on our bedroom doors. I feel so safe knowing I see the same people every day.”
“I recommend PadSplit to anyone who needs to feel safe and have a fresh start... It was a very easy process to feel appreciated, I signed up, and the customer service walked me through everything. It was a click away, and I moved in the next week.”
Tyla’s journey
“I feel more safe in my room, and I don’t feel like anyone’s going to break into the home… I have a short drive to work and am saving a lot of money on Lyft rides.”
“I also love how I’ve had 400+ new houses with PadSplit to choose beside. I don’t have to worry about finding a new place to stay if I get a job in another location.”
Carol’s transformation
“I feel safe. I wouldn’t have been able to turn my life like I did if I didn’t feel safe. PadSplit gave me the space to see who I was and given up my power and change what needed changing. I’ve seen my dreams come true.”
“One of the things that I believe is if you want to review, restructure, and rebuild your life, you can do it through PadSplit.”
Regan & Cal strive to provide secure coliving homes
“We feel so blessed to have the opportunity to invest in a property that helps others with affordable housing.
For somebody to share that they’re appreciative of a safe and nice environment shows how appreciative he is to have a roof over his head.”
