Roles & Responsibilities 

Roles & Responsibilities 

Coordinating agencies take on a number of important tasks to ensure the success and safety of home sharing placements. These include: 

• Recruitment and Screening: Agencies recruit new providers, conduct interviews, and assess homes to ensure they meet safety and suitability standards. 

• Home Studies: A comprehensive home study is completed for each provider, reviewing their experience, skills, lifestyle, home environment, and alignment with person-centered care. 

• Matching: Agencies work to find the best possible match between the person receiving support and the provider, considering personalities, preferences, culture, communication, and home environment. 

Monitoring and Support: 

• Conduct regular in-home visits and evaluations 

• Provide training and resources 

• Support providers with documentation and record keeping 

• Address any questions or concerns that arise 

Contract Management: Where the contract is held by the agency (rather than directly with CLBC), they manage contract terms, payments, and documentation. 

For home sharing providers, the coordinating agency is often your go-to contact for anything related to: 

• Day-to-day support needs 

• Training and professional development 

• Safety concerns 

• Changes in the support plan 

• Navigating provider responsibilities
