Project Living Well

2021

The goal of Project Living Well is to support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), both those using HCBS services and those waiting for services, to live a life of their choosing in an environment that promotes independence, health, and healthy relationships with family, friends, staff, and supportive community members. The project will accomplish this by implementing a replicable and sustainable model of: 1) evidence-based and informed capacity building strategies that will increase knowledge and skills of people with IDD and their supporters and generate policy change; and 2) community monitoring that will align and augment disparate monitoring and quality initiatives to improve the identification of health and safety risks for people with IDD. As a result, people with IDD will have increased independence, social capital, self-determination, community integration, productivity, and participation in abuse prevention, person-centered practices, peer support, career discovery, and small residence housing innovations. Project Living Well will produce, at minimum, a series of model capacity building and monitoring implementation fidelity guides; annual reports of progress; and a final, summative report of project outcomes and impact.
