The National Residential Information System Project (RISP)

Abstract

This project is a longitudinal study of annual state-by-state and national statistics on residential services and supports for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The project will include funding for supports and services from a variety of sources, including public and non-public, Medicaid-funded and non-Medicaid-funded residential and supportive services. The project will:

• Utilize a large multistate database on individuals with developmental disabilities to examine the associations between personal characteristics, housing, financing and support models, state systems on inclusion, self-determination, satisfaction, and outcomes
• Conduct state policy and program surveys on key topics in residential and other community services
• Maintain a clearinghouse of information and resources on consumer-controlled housing, the direct support workforce, and community living outcomes

The project will disseminate research using annual reports, the IMPACT, and the QualityMall.org website. The Build-a-Report tool and website allow reports to be customized.

The grantee is collaborating with the University of Massachusetts and the University of Colorado to show targeted current year and longitudinal data on the project website.
