What is a Shared Living arrangement?
Shared Living (also called Host Home) programs are a housing option where people in the community open their doors to a person or people with developmental disabilities and offer them a safe, loving place to call home. And, as you’ll see, this kind of community-based service has a lot of benefits for all involved. And team AbleLight will be with you every step of the way, supporting you many different ways.
What exactly is a Shared Living Provider?
Shared Living Providers are independent contractors who receive a professional, tax-free income, all for doing meaningful work right at home. For many, being a Host Home Provider is an opportunity to make a difference in the community, but it’s also a chance to switch careers, be at home more, and spend more time with the family. The rewards are truly neverending.
Not just a house, but a home
For people with disabilities, living in a Host Home can open a world of possibilities.
- Living in a family setting leads to increased community involvement
- Home providers are able to provide a more customized level of support to the person they serve
- Living with long-term care providers allows the person supported and the providers to develop meaningful, lasting relationships
