Shared Living
Shared Living matches adults with developmental disabilities with carefully screened individuals or families who provide a supportive, welcoming home. The goal is to build a meaningful, long-term relationship that promotes independence, stability, and quality of life.
Venture recruits, trains, and supports all providers, ensuring each match is guided by a person-centered plan tailored to individual needs and preferences.
Open your home and make a meaningful difference. Shared Living Providers receive training, ongoing support, and a tax-free annual stipend.
