Transforming Housing for People with Psychiatric Disabilities Report
In late 2003, inspired by the recommendations of the President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health and with funding from the Center for Mental Health
Services/Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (CMHS/SAMHSA), the Judge David L. Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law undertook a study
of board and care homes for people with psychiatric disabilities. Findings from the study were released on November 19, 2004. This report incorporates the
discussions and recommendations from the November 2004 data release. It discusses the impact of short-term quality improvement measures in the use of board and
care homes. It also calls for a fresh approach to providing housing for people with psychiatric disabilities - a recovery-oriented approach that revolves around the
principles of consumer self-direction and community integration.
