Committee considers expanding HomeShare to serve more Red Hook residents
Summary
Committee members reported interest in expanding HomeShare beyond the Bard community but raised oversight and program-management concerns; Trish Dantzic suggested senior pairings; further research and stakeholder involvement were proposed.
Committee member Adrienne Truscott reported on a meeting with Emily Majer about the HomeShare program, saying there was interest in expanding the program beyond the Bard community but also concern about oversight and the need for clear program management and safeguards.
Trish Dantzic proposed broadening pairings to match seniors with people who have different abilities so they can help each other, rather than limiting the program to a single campus community. Committee members discussed creating a subcommittee or including non-RHHC stakeholders to develop a draft for town consideration.
The minutes do not record formal enrollment targets, budget details or a binding commitment to expand HomeShare; the discussion was recorded as exploratory with recommended next steps.
