Our DDS Shared Living Program provides a multidisciplinary team to help adults with activities of daily living and inclusion in their own community.

Our Shared Living Program is through the Department of Developmental Services (DDS). Members found eligible must be 22 years of age or older. A multidisciplinary team is assigned and UCP provides 24-hour emergency services to the caregiver and member. A tax-free monthly stipend is provided to the shared living provider.

UCP is always looking for qualified Shared Living Providers. If you’re interested in opening your home to a member, please reach out to:
