Empowering Growth With Care

Shared living is for any individual with a developmental disability that prefers to live in a family-type home or have a person live in their home to serve as a companion, who is eligible for DD services and for the Comprehensive Waiver. Shared living can be for any individual, if the correct match is found, and for whom the Person-Centered Planning team has determined this to be an appropriate living option. The unique needs of the individual will certainly influence the recruitment and match of an individual with a Share living family or companion. Depending on the needs and compatibility of the individuals, no more than two individuals, regardless of funding source, may choose to live in the same-shared living location. Funding sources could include Waiver and private pay.
