Most arrangements involve an individual and a Home Sharing Caregiver sharing a house, or apartment, which can be owned or rented. For some Home Share situations people live together as roommates, while some involve a whole family supporting an individual, with one family member being the primary Home Sharing Caregiver.

The role of the Home Share Caregiver is to provide safe care and support for the person you have invited into your life, in an accepting, inclusive environment.
