 Residential Services for Persons
with Developmental Disabilities: Status and Trends Through 2000
The National
Residential Information Systems Project (RISP) on Residential
Services of the Research and Training Center on Community Living
began in 1977. It has operated on a nearly continuous basis since
then. This project gathers and reports statistics on persons with
mental retardation and related developmental disabilities (MR/DD)
receiving residential services, both state-operated and nonstate-operated,
Medicaid-funded and non-Medicaid funded programs in the United
States, including residential services operated specifically for
persons with MR/DD, as well as persons with MR/DD who are living
in nursing homes, and state psychiatric facilities. This
particular report provides such statistics for the year ending
June 30, 2000, as well as comparative statistics from earlier
years.
