Community Transitions

Medium

ND Olmstead Plan Goal #1: Expand and improve transitions from facilities to the most integrated settings.

Increase resources and navigation support for people to successfully transition from facilities to the community.
Address program eligibility challenges that prevent people in segregated settings from moving back into the community, e.g., the loss of subsidized housing and/or waiver eligibility if admitted to facilities for treatment or rehabilitation.
Address the problem of people with disabilities in jails and prisons due to lack of identification and proactive use of resources and services.
Assess the gaps creating the problem of people with disabilities living in institutions due to lack of the resources and services needed to live in the most integrated setting.
Improve facility support for transition through better training.
Connect individuals to Assistive Technology resources that will allow them to remain in their own homes.
