United Counseling Service Seeks Shared Living Providers in Tri-State Area

BENNINGTON, Vt. — United Counseling Service (UCS) is seeking community members in Bennington County, Vermont, and neighboring towns in Massachusetts and New York to become shared living providers for clients of its developmental services division.

According to UCS, there are no specific requirements regarding retirement status, homeownership, partnership or marital status, or income level for potential providers. The program aims to enable community members to support individuals with developmental disabilities in their own homes.
