Available Host Home Providers

Host Homes are a great option for individuals looking for some independence in community with a healthy dose of family-style support. We carefully screen and select Host Home providers, all of whom are licensed foster care providers. Matches are based on mutual interests and compatibility. Our experienced team provides ongoing support and supervision — so everyone feels comfortable and supported.

A Host Home provider may be an individual, a couple or a family with children. What they all have in common is their commitment to opening their homes and hearts to welcome a person with identified needs into their family.

Mohamed Family

Anoka County

My name is Amina Mohamed and I live in Coon Rapids, Minnesota with my three daughters, ranging in age from 10 to 14. I am choosing to open up our home because I believe every child deserves a safe, loving space where they can feel seen, heard and supported. Welcoming someone new into our home is not just about providing shelter, it’s about offering connection, stability and a sense of family.

We are Rhonda and Roger Lemmon, and we are ready to invite a new member into our family.
