Shared Living Opportunities: June 2026

Everyone deserves a life shaped by personal choice, grounded in authentic relationships, and enriched by connection and belonging. At the heart of Nonotuck’s work are our shared values—authenticity, mutual love and respect, interdependence, and the courage to be vulnerable—because these are the foundations of real community and of home. 

Shared Living brings together a person, a couple, or a family in the community with a person who has a disability to share their lives in an authentic, loving, and respectful relationship of mutual dependence. 

Shared living is a long-term commitment to support people in becoming a part of a home and a community. It is an alternative to a group home, foster care, boarding or residential program.
