Narrative

L’Arche Boston North’s Shared Living program is based on our mission of creating a home where sharing life together leads to mutually transformative relationships. Shared Living Home Providers host Core Members (adults living in L’Arche diagnosed with intellectual/developmental disabilities) in their homes and accompany a Core Member’s daily needs.

While in a Shared Living relationship, you are allowing yourself to open up to new experiences including different faith and spiritual practices, meeting people involved in the life of a Core Member, and creating new friendships. Shared Living Home Providers learn new ways to communicate and show their love and support for somebody.
