We are recruiting HomeShare Providers for the Cumberland, East Hants, Colchester, Pictou, Antigonish and Guysborough counties.
We are seeking HomeShare Providers who will welcome and support an adult with a disability in their home. Providers must share a commitment to creating an inclusive and supportive community.

If approved, CRSS will work closely with you to find a compatible HomeShare match. Prior to making any commitment, you and the individual will have the opportunity to meet and get to know one another. A HomeShare arrangement only moves forward when both parties agree it’s a good fit. CRSS will continue to monitor and support both the HomeShare Provider and Participant after an arrangement is made.
If you are looking for a meaningful opportunity to make a lasting difference, becoming a HomeShare Provider could be the perfect fit.
