Home Share Drumheller

Home Share Drumheller – a community-based solution to the local housing shortage

Our home sharing platform connects homeowners with vetted, compatible renters. The platform allows hosts to set their own terms, establish their own rules and gain access to renters who are looking to make a positive contribution to our community. The platform also screens renters and hosts, conducts background checks and prepares rental contracts.

Funding is available to the first fifty homeowners who sign onto the home share platform and are matched with renters. Grants will cover program fees for the first two years of the project (through to March 31, 2026).

"The Badlands Amphitheatre in Drumheller requires 30-40 production professionals each summer to run programs. We are not able to find short term housing, so we host staff at our site in donated RVs. We are investigating other solutions but would welcome any options"

“We hire seasonal staff on behalf of the Royal Tyrrell Museum, these students often travel across the country to experience a summer in Drumheller. They arrive to face the challenge of finding accommodation. The lack of housing has resulted in workers living outside of town, in vehicles or tents, or simply declining job offers … a home sharing solution would help!”

“As a National Historic Site, we recruit from across Canada…at the moment short-term housing availability is a barrier to recruitment, and we often lose excellent candidates because they cannot find housing.

Home-sharing will help ease the issues with employee housing for many businesses in the region.”
