        A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION urging the Commission on Developmental Disabilities to study the need for a program allowing 60 day emergency placement in group homes for individuals with developmental disabilities.

    Whereas, Individuals with developmental disabilities face a number of challenges;

    Whereas, Occasionally living arrangements, including community care facilities (group homes) or foster family placements, must be found for persons with developmental disabilities on an emergency basis;

    Whereas, Placement is a critical service for many individuals with developmental disabilities because a crisis may cause the failure of their living arrangement and an immediate need for relocation;

    Whereas, The safety, care, and well-being of persons with developmental disabilities receiving care in community settings are of the utmost importance; and

    Whereas, Crisis and emergency services must be identified and available to meet the specific needs of all individuals with developmental disabilities: Therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives

of the General Assembly of the State of Indiana,

the Senate concurring:

    SECTION 1. That the Commission on Developmental Disabilities

study the need for a program allowing 60 day emergency placement in group homes for individuals with developmental disabilities.
