NEW YORK—July 23,
2013—Lawyers for adult home residents, together with the U.S. Department of
Justice, reached a landmark settlement with New York State. The settlement
ensures that thousands of residents of 23 large “adult homes”—board and care
homes serving primarily people with mental illnesses—will have the opportunity
to live in their own homes with the services they need to succeed and be
participants in their communities.
