How House Sharing Works

Foothill College has partnered with the House Sharing Program of Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County to help students find below market room rental opportunities close to campus.

Through the program, all Foothill students and interested home providers will be vetted through background checks, reference checks, and income verification, prior to being matched in any home sharing situation.

It's a win-win situation.

  • You get reliable payment
  • A student has the opportunity to continue their education at Foothill
