Open Your Door to Ability

Triangle's new Shared Living Program. Interested in being a Home Provider and supporting an individual with a disability?

At Triangle in Malden we have been pioneering innovative programming, supports, and advocacy since 1971. Through support, challenge, and opportunity, Triangle empowers people with disabilities and their families to enjoy rich, fulfilling lives. We are committed to helping the world realize that we are all people with ability. Our newest program, Shared Living, seeks to follow this mission into the homes of our valued community members. Shared Living matches an individual with a disability to a Home Provider who welcomes them as an equal, contributing adult member of the household. There are many advantages to this residential support model: It focuses on community integration, being a part of a home and viewing members of the home as family rather than staff, and encourages greater independence and responsibility (just to name a few!)

We are actively looking for individuals and families who are willing to open their home and life and redefine ability in this unique opportunity. For more information, check out our website!
