7. Challenges Capacity, waiting lists, reimbursement
“Dangerousness” and other risks
Housing
Stigma
Stress they need to find a way to work with CCOs and counties to overcome these barriers

8. Changing the Paradigm Expanding our view of the possible
A new view of risk
Individuals with disabilities should have access to housing other than group homes, other congregate arrangements, and multi-unit buildings or complexes that are primarily for people with disabilities. They should have access to “scattered site” housing, with ownership or control of a lease. Housing should not be conditioned on compliance with treatment or with a service plan.-Bazelon Center
