§ 5.
Findings. The General Assembly finds that it is far preferable for older persons and adults and children with disabilities to live in their own homes or in the homes of family members in their own communities rather than in more restrictive institutionalized settings removed from their friends and loved ones. The General Assembly further finds that older persons and adults and children with disabilities often are unnecessarily placed or forced to remain in institutionalized settings due to the lack of resources needed to make modifications to their dwellings or to obtain assistive technology devices to enable them to remain in or return to their homes and communities. The General Assembly further finds that it is in the best interests of the State of Illinois to support community-based living for older persons and adults and children with disabilities by implementing a program to enable them to make modifications to their dwellings or to obtain assistive technology devices to avoid unnecessary placement outside of their own homes and communities.
