The Center for Self Determination has authored a well-thought position paper on

the quality of human services. Lots of important questions are answered.

This is the best concept I've heard in a long time:

" ...what gives every other person quality in their lives: a place to call home

with control over the front door; community membership; long term relationships;

and, at least a plan to address poverty. "

And that's important to me, especially the last one for those who are capable of

competitive employment.  So much of government offerings are aimed at caring

for people who society has decided are not capable, and the key to the offerings

is to prove yourself incapable. 

I don't know what the answer is for those who need bootstraps to pull themselves

up.  For those who could work and support themselves, there does not seem to be

clear options for housing or smaller supports.

In Neal's transition years, I kept reading about " person-centered planning " and

thinking that the term was heavily used but not very clearly defined.
