The role

What is a Residential Sponsor?

A sponsor shares their home and daily life with one or two individuals with IDD, offering the kind of steady, personal care that no facility can replicate.

A Safe, Family-Oriented Home

You provide a stable, welcoming household where an adult with an intellectual or developmental disability belongs — not a facility, a home.

Daily Living Support

Meals, medications, appointments, routines, and community outings — the everyday support that makes independence possible.

Advocacy & Respect

You encourage choice, protect dignity, and speak up alongside the person you support in every setting.
