Abstract
- The article discusses a court case wherein Disability Advocates Inc. accused New York State of segregating people with mental illness in adult homes. The advocacy group claimed that adult homes in the state lack the staff, resources or mandate to provide integrated housing and services to promote community living. The Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled that the group did not have the standing to bring the case against the state.
