The ROC Society is seeking caring individuals, couples, and families who can offer a safe, welcoming home to a person with a disability.

HomeShare is a supported, community living option where a person with a disability lives in and shares the home of an approved provider. Supporting someone with a disability in HomeShare is not a placement. It is a thoughtful matching of the supported person and their self-directed plan and the HomeShare Provider. Each match is unique! A Provider could be supporting with cooking meals, transportation to work, developing a routine, personal care, etc. It helps people build independence, develop life skills, stay connected to community, while enjoying safe, stable, and affordable housing.

Why Become a HomeShare Provider? • Make a meaningful difference in someone’s everyday life.

  • Provide companionship, stability, and community connection.
  • Receive funding, training, and ongoing support based on the level of care provided.
Who Can Apply?
  • People who are caring, dependable, and supportive.
  • Applicants who meet Disability Support Program standards through screening, background checks, and home study.
  • Individuals, couples, or families with a safe and welcoming home. *If an Individual needing support has their own place, a Provider can move in!
