Narrative

An important alternative to group homes, the Shared Living program matches adults with disabilities with families or people (providers) who want to share their home.

Providers support people with disabilities (PwD) with transportation, community involvement. They help with other activities of daily living like personal care, cooking and money management.

This living arrangement provides structure for development, growth and change, and also leads to lifelong friendships. People who open their homes often develop new ideas about what makes a family. They find sharing their home incredibly gratifying.
