Are you looking for a meaningful way to make a difference in someone's life? The Kennedy-Donovan Center (KDC) is seeking compassionate individuals and families to open their homes to an adult with developmental disabilities through our Shared Living Program (SLP).

As a caregiver, you’ll provide not just a place to live, but a welcoming, supportive home where someone can thrive. Shared Living caregivers play a vital role in helping individuals grow in independence, build relationships, and participate fully in their communities.

What is Shared Living?

Shared Living matches adults with disabilities with caring people who are ready to share their lives and homes. It’s a powerful and personal way to support someone—fostering connection, dignity, and inclusion.

We’re Looking For:

  • People 18 years or older with a high school diploma or GED
