The Sources Home Share Program provides a residential option to adults with developmental disabilities who are looking for a more natural care environment within the community.
Individuals share a home with matched, qualified and screened caregivers who provide ongoing support in all aspects of the individual’s life. SOURCES monitors the home to ensure quality care is being provided and individual needs are being met in order to enhance growth in skill development and independence.
Sources Community Resources Society is currently seeking a Home Share Provider in the Tri City area to support a 51-year-old man living with autism. Funding = $2,155.77 / month.
His hobbies include wood working, biking, nature walks, and listening to music. He enjoys building and/or creating new things by hand. He is very skilled in woodworking. With the right caregiver he would be open to exploring more and new hobbies!
