Nova Scotian’s with disabilities will have more independence when it comes to where they live with the launch of the new HomeShare program.
Starting today, participants can choose to share a home with an established support provider in the community of their choice.
Each match is based on individual needs, interests, and routines, and includes options for those who may require a full-time presence or overnight support.
Providers can help with tasks like preparing meals, organizing transportation, health management, and community involvement.
The program comes as a commitment under the Nova Scotia Human Rights Remedy, a five-year agreement that guides government work to transform the disability support system across the province.
