The Justice Department today filed a motion to intervene in Disability Advocates Inc. v. David A. Paterson, et al. in federal court in the Eastern District of New York. The United States alleges that the state of New York has failed to house thousands of individuals with mental illness who currently reside in large, institutional "adult homes" in the most integrated setting, in violation of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. An integrated setting is a setting that enables individuals with disabilities to interact with nondisabled persons to the fullest extent possible (see also U.S. Department of Justice).
