Description
In recent decades, the number of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) living in IDD institutions has dropped noticeably. Meanwhile, the number of people with IDD living in home and community-based settings increased even more dramatically—thanks mainly to Medicaid home and community-based services. Many people with IDD prefer to live with a family member throughout their lives, yet there are big differences across states in adult living arrangements, and costs vary widely. States should offer individualized small housing options, continue investing in home and community-based services, and improve wages and benefits for direct support workers.
