Host Home

The Host Home Program allows people with developmental disabilities to live with a caregiver / family of their choice, other than a parent, spouse, or guardian, within the community.

The Host Home service is provided through a Host Home Provider (such as RCM) within the Department of Disabilities Administration (DDA). Host Home living arrangements are a great option for people looking for a more family-oriented model.

Becoming a Host Home is a great way to offer a home and support structure to a person wanting this type of living arrangement. Host Homes operate like independent contractors with earnings receiving tax-free status.

Michael and Steven live in a cozy home in Northwest DC with their host ‘mom’, Ms. Conners. They work hard and share household responsibilities but also know how to party!

RCM is doing good. RCM is a good organization, they are like my family. The service they provide is very good. The service they provide for people to go and get a job is very good. The Special Olympics is good also. The people who work with RCM are great and kind, they are very good people and they care about people. People should come to RCM to see how great the organization is run, and how much they care, provide and love everyone.

I have been associated with RCM for approximately 15 years. My brother, Robert, was a long-time resident of yours. He received excellent care up to the time of his passing. Staff at RCM are very professional. I was always contacted in a timely manner for any situation that concerned my brother. I was always notified of family meetings. RCM is a caring, loving organization, and I will, and do recommend them to family and friends. I especially love the activities that you have. RCM is always doing something exciting. I love seeing that happy faces on my Facebook feed! Keep up the awesome job!
