💚 Thank You, Lindsey! 💚

A heartfelt thank you to Lindsey Shepherd from Hidden Housing Solutions and the Hollyburn Society, for joining us this morning at our weekly Cap Services Free Community Breakfast, to share information about with our seniors.

The presentation explored how home sharing can help older adults remain in the homes they love while benefiting from companionship, additional income, peace of mind, and greater independence. It was a thoughtful discussion about practical ways to support healthy aging and housing stability on the North Shore.
