HomeShare

What is HomeShare?

HomeShare is a program where adults with intellectual disabilities choose a community of their choice to be matched with and share life with a paid provider under the same roof.

This program is being implemented as part of Nova Scotia’s Remedy. You can learn more about the remedy through the provincial report here.

How HomeShare works

*Every match is unique. That’s why it’s important that everyone meets to ensure a fit.

  1. Expressing interest
    Disability support program participants and potential providers can contact the local HomeShare coordinating organization in their area.

  2. Screening
    Prospective providers are carefully screened through the application process which includes interviews and background checks.

  3. Matching
    HomeShare coordinating organizations help match participants and providers based on interests and support requirements.

  4. Funding and Support 
    Providers receiving funding, training, and other resources, based on the level of support they provide.
