Overview
Host Home Program:
The Host Home program provides individuals with intellectual disabilities a supportive, stable home environment. This model allows a person to live with a family or individual without disabilities. They become a valued member of the household. This setup helps them move away from often changing support staff.
Host Home Providers with Progressive Community Network (PCN) are Independent Contractors. As a Host Home Provider, your role includes offering supervision, guidance, and support tailored to the individual’s unique needs. Support covers various life skills, including budgeting, cooking, laundry, personal hygiene, and behavioral coping strategies. Some individuals also need more intensive support, like assistance with mobility, bathing, or incontinence care. These needs are addressed in collaboration with an interdisciplinary team. This team is dedicated to the individual’s well-being. You and the person served are key members of this team.
As a Host Home Provider, daily documentation of all support and activities is required. The basic services to be provided include:
- Offer safe living environment
- Medication administration
- Daily support services
- Transportation
- Participation in interdisciplinary meetings
Requirements to Become a Host Home Provider:

- Successfully complete a background check (including criminal history, sex offender, OIG, and child-dependent abuse registry checks)
