Become a Host Home Provider-Minnesota
Host Homes are a great option for individuals looking for some independence in community with a healthy dose of family-style support. We carefully screen and select Host Home providers, all of whom are licensed foster care providers. Matches are based on mutual interests and compatibility. Our experienced team provides ongoing support and supervision — so everyone feels comfortable and supported.
A Host Home provider may be an individual, a couple or a family with children. What they all have in common is their commitment to opening their homes and hearts to welcome a person with disabilities into their family.
LSS Host Homes for People with Disabilities provide the benefits and enjoyment of living in a family home with the support to lead an independent life in community. Our experienced employees are on-call for emergencies 24/7 to support Host Home families and assure everyone feels comfortable and supported.
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.
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.
By living with a family, a person with disabilities has the opportunity to participate in all desired aspects of family and community life.
