Chaffee County Public Health has hired Monica Ranes as the new coordinator for the Chaffee County Home Share Program. 

Monica will oversee the grant funded Home Share program which is aimed at helping older adults age in place while creating affordable housing opportunities for the community. She joins the existing Chaffee County Aging Well team which also includes Molly Bischoff and Aubrey Tamietti, who oversee Aging Well and Ark Valley Helping Hands. 

Home Share is designed for adults over the age of 55 who have extra space on their property and can offer living accommodations to those seeking reduced rent in exchange for providing agreed upon tasks.
