Narrative

Shared Living serves adults with developmental disabilities (DD) who are in need of a welcoming home that can provide ongoing support.  The person is matched by Venture with a person or family who has been recruited and screened as a Shared Living Provider.

Venture can place a person w/DD into a Shared Living Provider’s home. The agency recruits, screens, trains and provides ongoing support to the Provider. The Provider is expected to meet the needs of the person through a person-centered plan. The plan is built to respect the unique needs and wishes of each person served.
