Living independently and participating in one's community are
priorities for many people. In many regions across the United
States, there are programs that support and enable people with
disabilities and older adults to live where they choose and with
whom they choose and to participate fully in their communities.
Tremendous progress has been made. However, in many cases, the
programs themselves ? and access to them ? vary not only between
states but also within states. Many programs are small, and even
when they prove to be successful they are still not scaled up to
meet the needs of the many people who would benefit from them. The
challenges can include insufficient workforce, insufficient
funding, and lack of evidence demonstrating effectiveness or value.
To get a better understanding of the policies needed to maximize
independence and support community living and of the research
needed to support implementation of those policies, the National
Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a public
workshop in October 2015. Participants explored policies in place
that promote independence and community living for older adults and
people with physical disabilities, and identified policies and gaps
in policies that can be barriers to independence and the research
needed to support changing those policies. This report summarizes
the presentations and discussions from the workshop. Table of
