Description

ICI's Residential Information Systems Project (RISP) gets information each year from state IDD agencies about the places where people with IDD live. In 1977, 247,780 people with IDD lived in large institutions—a number that has barely changed since then. In the late 1970s, services were not available in other settings. Today, with Medicaid Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) funding, six of ten people getting services live with a family member. One quarter live in homes shared by six or fewer people. The rest live in bigger settings.
