July 23rd, 2026 The PLACE: What It Means to Become a Host Home Parent

Christina and Todd Manning join The PLACE to share what it’s like to become a host home parent with CTA Community Supports — opening their home to an adult with disabilities and welcoming her as part of the family. Over 27 years with Fawn, what began as a chance to open up her world became a gift that shaped their own children into kind, compassionate adults. They explain how a host home differs from foster care as a long-term, supportive relationship focused on independence, and how anyone interested can take the first step at ctasupports.com.
