ReHome is a marketplace platform that helps resettled refugees by accelerating their matching with safe rental housing. We help bridge the communication gap between landlords and resettlement agencies to clearly align timelines. We are currently raising funds to expand our mission of revitalizing a welcoming rental market for refugees across the United States. We exist for impact, not return on investment, and we need your support to make our vision a reality.
Their first fee-for-service, ReHome Matching Services (RMS), charges settlement providers a $500 success fee when a client moves into a unit they matched with through ReHome. The web interface for housing management they will build over the next 18 months (using donations) will allow them to sign fee-for-pay contracts for RMS across the country, allowing providers to make more ReHome matches more efficiently. They estimate this will provide RMS to 120 offices by 2028, generating $20 million ARR in success fee matching fees from their share of annual housing matches. In addition to RMS as a fee-for-pay service, they will eventually start charging for third-party integrations in matching landlords with refugee tenants; for example, charging a transaction fee in exchange for access to a special renters insurance policy bundled with ReHome matching. These integrations will allow them to generate multiple revenue streams per household beyond just the $500/placement fee.
They are piloting their matching service in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and are preparing to launch it nationwide with a crowdfunding campaign…
