Extend-A-Family Waterloo Region is recruiting people who would like to welcome an adult with a developmental disability into their home to share their lives, experiences and hearts.
"I would be lost if I did not live with my FamilyHome providers."
~John Heo, FamilyHome Sharer
What makes a successful FamilyHome?
- Those who are committed to inclusion for all people. People with disabilities are people first, and Extend-A-Family is looking for supportive individuals who understand this philosophy…and live by it!
- Those who are creative and open-minded, caring, accepting and will support people in living life to the fullest.
- Those with enthusiasm and encouragement while working together to reach an individual's goals and dreams.
"We're not here to lead people but to journey with them."
~Maria de Boer, Executive Director of Extend-A-Family
FamilyHome Providers can be single people, couples or families with a variety of lifestyles, who are committed to building relationships and have a stable, welcoming home environment.
We are also recruiting Respite Providers for the FamilyHome Program. Respite is weekend or occasional support throughout the year.
"This is a lifestyle…not a job!"
~Niki Stevenson, FamilyHome Program Manager
