Speaker: Osha Christianson, Vashon Household Home Share Program

More than 2,000 years ago, a couple, along with many thousand others, was required to travel to Jerusalem to pay a tax. There was no room they could afford at the Inn, so they had to sleep in the stable. Their son was born in the night and a bed was made for him in a manger filled with hay for the animals.

Regardless of our religious beliefs or backgrounds most of us are familiar with that story.

Today increasing numbers of people are moving to the Seattle-Tacoma area, including to Vashon. But low income seniors, artists and those with the service jobs that keep our Island going are increasingly unable to afford to live here.

Learn how the Vashon Household Home Share program can be a solution for some.
