John’s Story
John attended the Night to Shine in Roanoke on Feb. 9th. Night to Shine is a prom held for individuals with disabilities. While there, he danced and socialized with his friends and peers. John rode in a limo, walked the red carpet, and was crowned king.
All of the night to shine events took place across the state on February the 9th. At each event they had hair, nails and make up done, then they took Limo rides into the prom, they walked the red carpet as they were cheered by spectators and Paparazzi took pictures. Each one entered where they enjoyed food, music, Karaoke and dancing all night long. Each individual is crowned queen or king.

Who We Are
Sponsored Homes provide the around-the-clock care of a group home but in a smaller, more intimate home environment. Our sponsors serve up to two individuals compared to a group home of up to six individuals. Our sponsors receive extensive training to ensure that they have the tools necessary to provide care to the individuals seeking our services. Where do our sponsors come from? The very residents of Virginia who are willing to open up their hearts and homes reach out to us to start the application process. We assist with training and guide potential sponsors in order for their homes to be placed under HumanKind’s license to serve individuals throughout Virginia under the guidelines of the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (VDBHDS).
Current Vacancies
Once a home is licensed and the sponsor is ready to provide care, that home becomes an option for an individual to choose from. Typically, these individuals have a Medicaid “Community Living” Waiver, or “CL Waiver”, which covers the cost of the service. Because these placements are typically long-term, we want to ensure that the home is a good match for the individual. To accomplish this the best we can, we attempt to have three meetings with the sponsor with the final meeting being a weekend stay at the sponsor’s home. Want to see what we have available? Check out the flyers for our available homes.
