Bill overview
The Community Integration Act of 2020 aims to ensure that people with disabilities receiving care in institutions like nursing homes have the option to receive that same level of care in a home or community-based setting. It requires states to develop plans to increase access to affordable housing for individuals with disabilities and to prevent policies that limit access to these alternative settings. The bill also strengthens Medicaid regulations to promote this integration and provides remedies for those who are denied these options.
