 Meet Clarissa and Matthew. Clarissa is a Shared Living Provider to her brother, Matthew, who is an adult living with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD). When she first heard of the Shared Living program, she said, “It made so much sense. I had become by brother’s current caregiver after our father passed away, about three years prior to learning about the program.”
