Description:SSVA continuously recruits new sponsor providers who
want to open their homes for multi-year placements of one or two

committed to helping others become active members of the community

services to become a sponsor for them. However, there are stricter
guidelines for qualifying than for those who sponsor non-related
individuals. Sponsors should be comfortable functioning in an

aspects of the individual's support needs. SSVA has a steady stream
of individuals looking for sponsored homes and we are careful about
matching people with homes that share their interests..
