TidWellHoused is building a vision for affordable shared living that brings stability, connection, and new possibilities to independent seniors, working adults, and people seeking a fresh start.
TidWellHoused is an emerging shared-housing initiative grounded in a simple belief: everyone deserves a safe, affordable place to call home. We envision welcoming homes where independent seniors, working adults, and individuals rebuilding their lives can find stability, connection, and a sense of belonging.
Our work is guided by dignity, affordability, personal independence, and the belief that stronger housing options can help strengthen entire neighborhoods.
Our focus areas: Dallas–Fort Worth, Texas and Hot Springs, Arkansas.
To expand access to safe, dignified, affordable shared housing and connect people with community resources that support their next chapter.
Founder & Visionary, TidWellHoused
For Lorie Ann, the vision behind TidWellHoused is deeply personal. Helping her father remain safely in his Hot Springs home as he ages revealed how much a stable home matters. At the same time, watching her mother consider downsizing and search for a community where she could feel connected brought another need into focus: affordable housing can offer both independence and belonging.
These family experiences helped shape TidWellHoused, a name honoring her Tidwell family roots. Guided by faith, family, and a belief in second chances, Lorie envisions shared living opportunities for independent seniors, working adults, and people returning home after incarceration—while building partnerships that strengthen neighborhoods in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and Dallas–Fort Worth.
TidWellHoused is in development. This founder story reflects the inspiration and goals behind the initiative.
