Case Summary & Links to Further Details ⁱⁱⁱ:
Summary Case (class action denied) challenges waitlists and seeks ICF/MR services in small community group homes. An association of non-profit community services providers contended that state payments for HCBS are inadequate & waiver services should be expanded, not ICF/MR services. Court dismissed plaintiff's ADA claims, on grounds that "Olmstead does not stand for the proposition that a state must create, expand or maintain programs for the purpose of preventing disabled individuals from becoming institutionalized". Progress Trial held (Jun 2004) but no decision announced. Further details [http://www.thearcofco.org/current.html]
