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.

Supported Living is available for adults with intellectual disabilities who are able to live safely in the community with limited supervision. Staff is available to assist and support individuals with budgeting, health maintenance, employment, and activities of daily living. Staff encourages and educates individuals to increase self-confidence and independent living.
