DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED ADULT (DDA) GROUP HOME

Purpose
Persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities have the inherent right to fulfill their potential as
human beings and can be helped to lead dignified lives regardless of their level of functioning. The

institutionalization, and to provide the necessary level of care and services for eligible individuals to live
in and/or near their home communities
