Host Home Support
Host Home Supports are available for a client who would like to live in a private residence with a family or caregiver (non-related parent, guardian or spouse). Host Home Supports are established to give adults with disabilities an alternative to institutional or community living settings, such as group homes and apartments. This program allows an adult to be placed with a family or caregiver who has received specific training regarding disabilities. Host Home families or caregivers assist the adult in developing skills and provide support in the activities of daily living (bathing, eating, dressing, personal hygiene). They provide supports/services to ensure the health and safety of the adult as well as other supports. Host Home providers do not have guardianship of the adult.
For additional information, see Division Directive 1.2 (Eligibility and Intake) and Administrative Rule R539-1 (Eligibility).
