What is an Adult Host Home?

An Adult Foster Care / Host home is the most natural setting in which an individual with intellectual or developmental disabilities can live. The concept is simple – you as a provider, are opening your home to an individual with a disability to provide them with a home – something that they may not otherwise have.

How can my family become an Adult Host Home provider?

The first step is to confirm you have a home/apartment/condo that can accommodate an individual and their needs. We will make every effort to ensure that you and the individual are a good fit for each other. We ask that you provide us with some information about you and your home so that when we have an interested individual, they can make a good decision if they would like to live with you.
