Host Home Provider: Our company is dedicated to providing quality services for people with developmental disabilities. Host Home Providers open their homes to individual(s) with developmental disabilities and provide a variety of supports to meet the individualized needs of the people we serve. Successful candidates will be compassionate people who want to make a difference in the lives of others.

A critical component of our hiring process is matching the provider to the needs and preferences of the person receiving services. We look carefully at the applicant’s qualifications, personal compatibility with the person, and environmental characteristics such as location, potential roommates, presence or absence of pets, and other individualized matters.

Because of this, an applicant may be a very good provider, but something may not be the best match for the person. If you are not selected the first time you apply, we would like to keep your application on file, ready to be considered for the next person requesting services.
