42 U.S.C. § 8001 — Congressional findings
submitted 48 years ago by Pub. L. 95-557 to r/title-42-THE-PUBLIC-HEALTH-AND-WELFARE · 120 words · no verdicts yet
Congress finds that congregate housing with supportive services can help temporarily disabled or handicapped people remain independent. It also finds that many elderly and handicapped residents face unnecessary institutionalization because supportive services are missing or inadequate, and that continuing supplemental services are essential.
Congress finds: (1) Congregate housing* coordinated with supportive services is an innovative, proven, and cost-effective way for temporarily disabled* or handicapped* people to keep their dignity and independence and avoid costly, unnecessary institutionalization. (2) Many elderly* and handicapped residents of public-housing and nonprofit elderly- or handicapped-housing projects face early, unnecessary institutionalization because supportive services needed to develop enough congregate housing are unavailable, inadequate, poorly coordinated, or poorly delivered. (3) Supplemental supportive services that are securely and continuously available are essential to a successful congregate-housing program.
The Congress finds that—
congregate housing*, coordinated with the delivery of supportive services, offers an innovative, proven, and cost-effective means of enabling temporarily disabled* or handicapped* individuals to maintain their dignity and independence and to avoid costly and unnecessary institutionalization;
a large and growing number of elderly* and handicapped residents of public housing projects and of nonprofit projects for the elderly and handicapped face premature and unnecessary institutionalization because of the absence of or deficiencies in the availability, adequacy, coordination, or delivery of the supportive services required for the successful development of adequate numbers of congregate housing projects; and
supplemental supportive services, available on a secure and continuing basis, are essential to a successful congregate housing program.
