Shared Living is a residential support in which a person with developmental and intellectual disabilities (IDD) lives with another, non-disabled person or host family. Efforts are made to match a person with the best living setting that offers an appropriate level of support and supervision. We offer oversight, training and help from the provider agency.

People will live in a qualified setting with trained, paid independent contractors or Care Providers. Care Providers will receive a tax-free payment to give daily support with personal care needs in a family setting rather than a residential or congregate care facility. Care Providers are required to provide meals, companionship, personal care assistance and 24-hour supervision. Host families may be singles, couples or families.
