Up to two clients can live in a home. Each person must be offered the choice of a private bedroom.
Services are covered through an individual’s benefits (Social Security and Regional Center). Funding can sometimes feel confusing and overwhelming —we will help you figure it out along with your Regional Center worker. We can also provide support with Social Security payeeships.
We take pride in finding the right match and are careful in doing so. Clients and families are involved in every step and are encouraged to spend as much time with their potential match as needed in order to make a confident decision. Our goal is to have long-term matches.
Being a family home provider is a life-changing experience. Not only will you make a lasting positive impact on someone’s life, but you will also experience a difference in your own. A tax-free monthly stipend is also provided for your services.
Our experienced team will assist you every step of the way. You will complete an in-home interview, fingerprinting and background checks, a health screening, TB test, CPR and first aid training, as well as a home safety check. If you are interested in starting the process, please contact Lindsey Espinosa at lindseyk@guidinghands.org or (619) 873-8209.
The amount is based on the support needs of the resident. Family home providers receive a tax-free monthly stipend ranging between $5,075-$8,255 to cover the resident’s rent and meals, and the services provided.
HGH often serves people in multiple programs. Whether receiving several services at the same time or when transitioning from one HGH program to another, we will provide the support you need. Please see our service pages for information about all our programs. For more specific information or additional questions, contact us at 619-938-2850 or info@guidinghands.org.

Our homes are located throughout San Diego County and are as unique as our clients. Our goal is to find the perfect home to meet each person’s needs. All homes must pass a thorough certification process and are monitored regularly by HGH staff.
We partner with people with the right combination of heart, compassion, and purpose and are proud of our diverse team of family home providers. We have an extensive screening and clearance process which includes fingerprints, background checks, health screening, and drug testing.
Family home providers support in a variety of areas including:
Our family home providers share their knowledge to help the adult(s) in their home build independence. Growth takes place during everyday interactions and repeated opportunities to practice new skills.
We match clients with loving families where they find a place of acceptance and belonging and experience life better — together.
We empower people to set and reach their own goals and make choices about their lives. Our clients are equal partners in deciding what their services look like.
