Way to go TN! Wish I could report that CA was on that list.  We’re on schedule to close them by 2021.  Last 800 people headed to freedom…

I recall seeing information in the past 6 -12 months that named the states that no longer have state funded institutions for people with ID/DD. But I cannot locate the information. Does anyone have recent information on that. Need for a reporter.

Thanks
