 Inclusive Livable Communities for People With Psychiatric Disabilities
This report, issued by the National Council on Disability, proposes changes in public policies regarding housing,
transportation, and opportunities for people with disabilities. The report makes
several recommendations, including:
-
Continuing support for anti-stigma campaigns and self-help programs
-
Implementing changes in federal and state funding and policy to encourage
integrated housing models
-
Eliminating the "benefits trap" that discourages those with disabilities from
working
-
Increase the variety of recovery-oriented services eligible for Medicaid funding
