Community Supported Living Arrangements (CSLA) Evaluation: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In the mid nineties, we were lucky enough to be involved in the evaluation of the initial effort to develop supported living services and supports in California. The purpose of the evaluation was to provide information about CSLA of value to the Department of Developmental Services and others. The Department asked us to study the effects of various factors (e.g., individual differences; family involvement; organizational policies and practices; costs) on service delivery and use of the initial roll out of CSLA. While this piece is over twenty years old, it still makes for interesting reading from a historical perspective.
