 The community living movement has been very successful in the US and other countries, and is supported in 2015 by the "UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities" (UN, 2006).Prior to the 1970s this function was served by institutions, asylums, poorhouses, and orphanages until long-term services and supports, including group homes were developed in the US.The primary frameworks in the US underlaying group homes are often termed social and functional competency-based (e.g., community participation, social role valorization, social and community acceptance, self-determination, functional home and community skills) and another, positive behavioral supports (which may be considered overly structured for homes and home life).
