XXXX Deputy Director Children and Family Services Division Attachments Attachment A GUIDELINES FOR SHARED LIVING AGREEMENT (SLA) BETWEEN CAREGIVER AND NON-MINOR DEPENDENT (NMD) The guidelines in this document outline a SLAgreement as a basis for a written understanding between the caregiver and NMD on an array of expectations for placement in a household.
