Shared Living
Shared Living
Shared Living focuses on creating caring, long-term relationships and forming welcoming households between a person with a disability and a Host Home. In this mutual arrangement, a couple or family in the community shares their home and life experiences, fostering a meaningful connection built on trust and shared values. Host Homes offer a natural and welcoming environment where the focus is on building meaningful relationships and supporting independence. Whether living with a couple or a family, people in this program benefit from the security, encouragement, and freedom to take risks, work, and engage in their community.

Host Home support ensures that the individual is safe and free from harm and has the support and security to take risks, work, and participate in community activities. The primary responsibility of a Host Home is to make a natural home where the family or couple provides a welcoming home and works to achieve a mutually satisfying and meaningful relationship. The Host Home arrangement may be either with:
- A couple sharing their home/apartment
- A family sharing their home/apartment
