Home and Community Based Services
HCBS are guided by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Olmstead decision.
Inclusion is the overarching theme behind the administration of HCBS, as evidenced by the adoption of the ADA in 1990 and subsequent Supreme Court decision in Olmstead v. L.C. in 1999. In passing the ADA, the federal government barred discrimination on the basis of disability in public services provided by state and local governments and by private entities. Nine years later in Olmstead, the Supreme Court held that "under Title II of the ADA, States are required to provide community-based treatment for persons with mental disabilities when the State's treatment professionals determine that such placement is appropriate, the affected persons do not oppose such treatment, and the placement can be reasonably accommodated." In reaching its holding, the Supreme Court illuminated the exclusion concerns found in the ADA, dictating that "institutional placement of persons who can handle and benefit from community settings perpetuates unwarranted assumptions that persons so isolated are incapable or unworthy of participating in community life." Furthermore, "confinement in an institution severely diminishes the everyday life activities of individuals, including family relations, social contacts, work options, economic independence, educational advancement, and cultural enrichment."
