Discover everything about being a home sharing provider.
How Home Sharing Works
Home sharing is an arrangement where an adult with a disability lives in a person’s home and receives support and services based on their personal goals and needs. Home sharing services are offered in many ways. Some people live with family, others live with a roommate or a couple and some may live in a separate suite that is part of the home. By sharing skills and experiences, home sharing providers and the individuals they live with enrich each other’s lives.
