    • HomeShare Provider

    Our HomeShare Provider program is an excellent opportunity to get involved with inclusion powell river without committing to a full-time care position. As a HomeShare Provider you can open your home to an adult with a developmental disability or traumatic brain injury while maintaining your regular work and home schedule.

    As a HomeShare Provider, you might live:

    • On your own, with a spouse or partner, or with your family
    • In town, rurally, or on Texada
    • In an apartment, condo, or house
    • With or without pets

    Most importantly, you are interested in including another person in your home and building a long-term relationship with them.

    apply now

    Building a trusting relationship with someone outside your regular cohort is a rewarding experience. This is a wonderful opportunity to get to know someone you may only meet in your role as a HomeShare Provider.

    There may be times when your role as a HomeShare Provider, with the guidance of a professional, will require you to follow a support plan to help the individual with:

    • Behaviour modification tools
    • Coping skills
    • Improving their autonomy

    We love every minute

    “The Truly important things are those that make you happier if you share them , than if you keep them to yourselves . We have been truly happy to share our home as HomeShare Providers for over 20 years and the joy of doing this has brought us so much happiness, kept us on our toes . We love every minute of everyday and always look forward to seeing what the next day has in store for us.”

    Ready to become a HomeShare Provider?

    Follow these four easy steps.

    Fill out an online application form.

    If your application is approved, submit a criminal record check.

    Schedule your in-home interviews (there will be more than one).

    Open your home to an individual when there is a mutual fit.

    It's the sense of family

    “Homesharing with these SPECIAL INDIVIDUALS is not all about what WE provide for them but in return the LOVE and APPRECIATION that is demonstrated by them and a sense of FAMILY that perhaps they've never known.”

    🏡HomeShare Providers work as contractors with inclusion powell river. This means you are not an employee and are responsible for tracking your own income and expenses. You will, however, receive tax-free compensation.

    🏡Our screening process involves a criminal record check and several in-home interviews. This is to ensure we set everyone up for success.
