Home Share is a residential option for adults with developmental disabilities in which the individual shares a home with a care provider who delivers ongoing, individualized support. This option provides an ideal balance of support and independence. For some, this is a step towards greater independence, while for others it is a lifelong living arrangement.
The Home Sharing Provider will enter a contractual agreement with JHSOK and will receive rent and additional support funding linked to the individual served. In some situations, the home sharing arrangement is characterized as a more independent relationship. Members of the home may generally go their own ways and come together at specific times or for specific purposes.
Our goal is to facilitate community inclusion by supporting our home share providers and the individual, to achieve greater autonomy and an enduring positive relationship. Home Sharing Providers must be committed to the values and principles of CLBC and JHSOK and have an understanding of complex needs, such as mental health and substance use.
