The Home and Community-Based PAS Project

About

The primary goal of this 5-year research project is to identify, track and analyze programs and policies concerning formal (paid) PAS delivered in the home and community (as opposed to institutional settings). The project is directed by Martin Kitchener and Charlene Harrington at the University of California, San Francisco and comprises four streams of research.

The 1999 Olmstead Supreme Court Decision

In a landmark interpretation of the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), the Supreme Court decided that people with disabilities have a right to receive care in the most integrated setting appropriate and that unnecessary institutionalization violates the ADA. All states must now comply with the decision. The Center for PAS is tracking the legal and policy ramifications of the Olmstead decision in each state.
