A lending network for your block

Borrow anything, anywhere, anytime.

Every window on your street holds something you need once a year. Borrowhoods shows you which ones are lit — a ladder two doors down, a pressure washer on the corner, a tent across the park.

Three steps, one evening

Ask → borrow → return

Step 1

Ask

Tap a lit window and say when you need it. Your neighbor gets one notification — yes or no, no negotiation thread.

Step 2

Borrow

Pick it up at the door. The app holds a deposit until it's back, so nobody has to ask a friend for money.

Step 3

Return

Drop it off, snap a photo, deposit released. The window goes dark for you and lights up for the next person.

Deposits, not favors

We hold the replacement value and release it the moment the item is back. Borrowing stops feeling like owing.

Verified addresses only

Every member confirms they live on the block they're lending to. You see first names and a street, not usernames.

Damage covered to $2,000

If something breaks, we pay the lender and sort it out with the borrower. No one loses a neighbor over a drill.

How it would work, if it existed. No cover, deposits, or terms are in place.

Your street already owns everything you need.

Or it would, if this were a real service. Borrowhoods is a design concept — there's nothing to sign up for yet.
