Why Patchwork, why now?
About 15 million homes are vacant nationwide. Matching responsible people to idle homes is common sense.
The 65+ population is ~61 million today and will be roughly 1 in 5 Americans by 2030—more help-at-home, more check‑ins, more trusted presence.
Skilled side projects and remote work mean more people can combine light labor with short‑term housing.
