Deinstitutionalisation and Housing Futures: Positioning Paper

Author: Bostock, L., Gleeson, B., McPherson, A., Pang, L.
Year: 2000
Type: Report

Abstract:

This paper reports research that will examine the housing futures of intellectually disabled people expected to move from residential institutions into community based living arrangements in each state/territory over the next 10 years. This research addresses a critical policy need in human services, namely, better intelligence on current and projected patterns of deinstitutionalisation and their implications for housing and related support mechanisms. The project aims to document plans for deinstitutionalisation in each state and territory, focusing on the 2000-2010 time frame; review and describe the recent housing outcomes from deinstitutionalisation in Australia, involve service agencies in the research, and outline the broad policy implications of the findings on the above and make recommendations for policy development.
