Job Overview

HomeShare is a new form of community-based support which involves sharing your home with an adult with a disability. YACRO is seeking suitable candidates to serve as HomeShare providers in the South Shore area.

As a HomeShare provider, you will share a living space and provide supports to an adult with a disability. This could involve helping them with meals, scheduling, managing their health needs, and helping them with the many different activities of daily living.

All candidates undergo an extensive interview process which includes several visits to their home. They also must be able to provide an acceptable criminal record check and good references as well as have the ability to obtain a first aid/CPR certificate.

If you are approved as a provider, YACRO will work to match you with an appropriate person to live with. You will have the opportunity to meet and connect with the person prior to committing to the arrangement. For the move to proceed, both of you must agree that it is a valuable match.



The funding that you will receive is dependent on the level of support required by the person you live with.

Are you interested in taking on this very rewarding role? The numerous benefits to sharing ones’ home with someone with a disability include giving the provider a chance to be a mentor, an advocate, and to help the person supported gain skills and independence. It also gives the provider companionship, the knowledge they are making a difference, and a source of income while working from home.

For more information or to request an application form please contact our YACRO HomeShare coordinator Amy Thibeau at the contacts below.

Previous experience working with persons with disabilities is an asset but not required.
