Description The overall purpose of a Shared Living Provider (SLP) is to provide residential support in the SLP's home for individuals with developmental disabilities, under the supervision of the Residential Service Coordinator.

SLPs provide basic home support and related responsibilities, including nutritional meals, transportation to appointments, day services, recreational activities, community access, cultural and religious services, and up to 24‑hour supervision as outlined in the Individual Support Plan (ISP).
