This is a free, hour-long event with tax associates Fran Murphy and Rachel Curry. Fran and Rachel have both been with MBK for ten years and bring a wealth of knowledge to our clients in not-for-profit, individual, and closely-held business tax preparation. This event will allow participants the opportunity to learn about what services the state compensates Shared Living providers for and whether and how this information should be listed on a tax return.

Shared Living program

MHA’s Shared Living program places for individuals served by the Massachusetts Department of Developmental Services with families willing to welcome them into their home with the help of a tax-free stipend between $30,000 to $45,000 paid annually by the state. This program provides an alternative to group home living for individuals under the care of the department. Designated care providers support an individual they are matched with in their daily living including cooking meals, ensuring the individual is taking any medications, providing transport to appointments, and helping the individual work toward specific goals. MHA is currently seeking providers.
