A Shared Living Provider is an individual who subcontracts with an agency to provide direct support to a member, with whom they share a home. The Shared Living Provider must be a Certified Direct Support Professional (DSP) and comply with the Shared Living Handbook provided by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). We will train you!
The Shared Living Home Provider is responsible for providing a supportive home environment, inclusion in the community and providing the appropriate level of support. The Shared Living Home Provider is responsible for the day to day activities which accomplish the desired outcomes as identified by the individual’s Person-Centered Plan.
The Shared Living Home Provider is self-employed and provides the Shared Living service (Home Support) as an independent contractor of an Administrative Oversight Agency. GMS would be the Administrative Oversight Agency, providing oversight, guidance, training, billing, and payment services.
Shared Living is one option in a range of housing and support services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and/or Autism. Shared Living allows an individual to live in a family-style setting and become a member of the household, the family, and the community.
It is the intent of the Shared Living model to support people in one of two “family” setting options.
The Shared Living Home Provider is not paid wages for the services he/she provides. He/she receives a stipend at a rate set by the Administrative Oversight Agency and funded by MaineCare.

In addition to the daily stipend, the Shared Living Home Provider may collect a monthly room and board. The monthly room and board payment amount is to be negotiated between the Shared Living Home Provider and the individual’s representative payee.
