About Us

HomeLocatorRI.net is a free online service that provides easy access to information about available homes in Rhode Island. Whether you are looking to rent an apartment, buy your first home, or relocate to a new home that better fits your needs and budget, HomeLocatorRI.net provides you with the listings and resources you need to find a home that's right for you.

Specializing in, but not limited to, homes that receive government funding and meet state and federal affordability criteria, HomeLocatorRI.net's listings are described in great detail, and include pictures, maps, and information about nearby amenities like parks, schools and hospitals. We also provide useful tools, such as a rental affordability calculator and a checklist of things to look for when searching for a home; as well as links to helpful resources, such as RILiving.com. Beyond the homes that meet HomeLocatorRI.net's affordability criteria, RILiving.com includes comprehensive statewide listing information and showcases homes in all price ranges.

In addition to serving as a resource to Rhode Islanders searching for homes, HomeLocatorRI.net is also a great resource for providers of affordable homes to register, post and manage their listings. Owners and managers whose properties meet state and federal guidelines and who accept government-sponsored housing vouchers - including housing authorities, real estate agents and private landlords - are encouraged to use this service to advertise their property listings, free of charge.

The free service can be accessed online 24 hours a day and is supported by a toll-free, bilingual call center at 1-877-428-8844, M-F, 9-8 EST.
