Narrative

BHN’s Shared Living program provides in-home placement for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities with welcoming individuals and families in their community. These long-term placements provide structure that enables the individual to live a meaningful life at home and to thrive in their community independently.

Shared Living Providers are compassionate caregivers that support the unique needs of the individual. They help with everyday needs that include meal preparation, medication management, money management, and transportation. Like typical families, they engage in social events and community activities together.

BHN’s careful screening process ensures living situations are compatible based upon the individual and provider’s interests and values. BHN provides training, support, and monthly oversight along with the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) and a generous tax-free stipend.
