The premise behind lifesharing is unique, involving individuals staying with host families who have agreed to open their home to them to provide a place to live, in-home supports, and an opportunity to form enduring relationships. There are multiple organizations that help with the matching process, and lifesharing in general is overseen by the PA DHS. We encourage you to visit their site on Personal Care Homes for additional information on the ideology of lifesharing. Additionally, your county MH/IDD office is a helpful resource as they can get you connected with the organizations that are relevant to you.
