Next Steps:
Potential Shared Living Clients
- If you know who you want to be your provider, you and your team can contact Kristina to start the process.
- If you do not have a provider in mind, give us a call and we can see if we have any available providers to match you with.
Potential Providers must apply and be approved as a contractor. UCP providers the required Direct Support Professional (DSP), CRMA, and CPR trainings.
Once members and providers are matched and trainings are complete, your team will meet to update your Person Centered Plan (PCP) and select a start date for service.
