LUTHERAN SOCIAL SERVICE HOST HOMES, Multiple Locations Claimed

Adults and children with disabilities, their families, the host home provider and LSS work collaboratively to design and implement a customized plan for day-to-day living based on each individual’s unique needs and preferences.

Unlike a traditional group home environment, the maximum number of people served through the host home model is two — allowing for a more flexible lifestyle for everyone.

Personal Attention

Host Home providers offer personal attention in a nurturing home setting to support the individual’s development of social skills, money management, home economic and time management skills and semi-independent living skills.

Community Engagement

By living with a family, a person with disabilities has the opportunity to participate in all desired aspects of family and community life.
