An act relating to congregate homes for adults with a developmental or cognitive disability

This bill requires the Vermont Agency of Human Services to submit a report to the General Assembly about creating congregate homes for adults with developmental or cognitive disabilities. The report must assess whether there is a need for such housing, identify where that need exists, and explore how these homes could reduce healthcare costs. It also asks the agency to identify potential funding sources and recommend ways to partner with community organizations to develop these homes statewide. The legislation focuses on gathering information and recommendations rather than mandating immediate construction or funding.
