Subject: Re: DD Councils No Institutions
 
Despite the UCP information as all being closed, Colorado has three existing institutions, with downsizing occurring.  The use of ICF group homes on the same campus is counting as deinstitutionalizing in the state's view, but not my personal view

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
