Adult Family Homes

Our Mission: To improve the lives and well-being of vulnerable adults through the support of adult family homes.

Formed in 1993, the Adult Family Home Council (AFH Council) aims to improve the lives of vulnerable adults by supporting adult family homes. We assist providers with high-quality care through education, advocacy, direct support, and marketing. The Council represents AFH providers in the state legislature, with the Department of Social and Health Services, and for collective bargaining.
