WHAT IS LIFE SHARE?

Do you have a place in your heart, and a place in your home?

There are many adults in Ontario with developmental disabilities who could benefit from a program we call Life Share. Through Life Share (formally  known as host family), Ontario families and citizens (home providers) offer a nurturing and safe environment for adults with developmental disabilities (home sharers).

We call this a “place in your heart, and a place in your home”, because being a Life Share home provider means so much more than just offering a room in your house. You’re giving someone with a developmental disability a place they can call home. A place where they are supported, valued, accepted and can have a real sense of belonging. As a home provider, you are making a difference in someone’s life. In turn, you can look forward to an incredibly rewarding and fulfilling experience of your own.”
