Life Sharing

Life Sharing  (Family Living) provides adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities with a matched family to live with and share everyday experiences. Supports are individualized and include everyone in the home. Life Sharing provides individuals the opportunity to be part of a family and participate in community life. Our staff works in partnership with matched families to ensure the individual’s needs are met. Individuals who participate in life sharing enjoy a long – term support system.

Our life sharing residential arrangements are limited to homes with no more than two individuals with disabilities living in the same home and who are not family members/relatives of the host family members.
