Become a Host Home Provider
A host home provider is someone who welcomes an adult with an intellectual or developmental disability into their home as part of their family. Host home providers give care and support to help the individual meet their goals. Those may be wellness or treatment goals, or milestones to help them be more independent.
Our host home providers come from all walks of life. They may be stay-at-home moms and dads, single people, empty-nesters, or working professionals. They represent every gender, orientation, ethnicity, and religion. One thing all caregivers have in common is their commitment to helping others.
Host home providers receive a monthly stipend to help cover the cost of supporting individuals in their homes. The amount you receive varies based on your state and the level of care you are providing.
Many of the adults who choose to live with a host home family have busy days – just like you! They may work, visit a day center, or enjoy an activity they love. They may spend time with family and friends. Some of the individuals we serve feel most comfortable staying at home during the day. Our matching process will make sure you find the right fit for your schedule and lifestyle.
I’m glad every day that I’m doing this because I get to see Mason and Shawn develop their gifts and work towards becoming all that they can be.
