Description

Group Homes: Strategies for Effective and Defensible Planning and Regulation Brian J Connolly ISBN 9781627221658

Group Homes offers a comprehensive overview of the legal obligations to provide fair housing for people with disabilities, along with the policy rationales underlying those obligations. It is an essential resource for readers interested in the history, legal framework, planning policy, and political strategy involved in developing housing for individuals with disabilities.

Grounded in two fundamental principles—that fair housing is a right for everyone, including people with disabilities, and that individuals with disabilities have historically faced significant discrimination, particularly in housing—the book aims to help local governments craft appropriate regulations and accommodations. At the same time, it emphasizes the importance of balancing these obligations with the legitimate rights and concerns of other community members who may be affected by new housing developments.

Drawing on a broad range of authoritative information, the book guides readers from an understanding of the population of people with disabilities, through the laws governing housing rights, and into the planning and regulatory approaches that can and should be applied to group homes.
