A Host Home is a residential service model in which an adult with intellectual or developmental disabilities lives with a trained provider family in the family’s own home. The provider receives ongoing training, clinical oversight, structured home inspections, and a stipend through the HCBS-DD waiver — but day-to-day, it’s a home, not a facility.
For many of the adults we serve, this is the first time their living environment looks and feels like a real home: a kitchen table set for dinner, a bedroom with their own things, a family that gets curious about who they are rather than what they need.
