Community Living
We advocate for the full inclusion of people with disabilities by promoting comprehensive, quality community-based services as an alternative to institutionalization.
The resources on this page can help you learn about your rights and how to advocate for what you or your family needs.
If you need legal assistance because your right to live in the community is being violated, please see our How to Apply for Services page.
