1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,016
Question 84.

2
00:00:01,016 --> 00:00:04,281
Were truly independent housing
options offered and documented

3
00:00:04,281 --> 00:00:06,730
before a provider-connected
residence was selected?

4
00:00:06,730 --> 00:00:09,995
The 2023 report raises
a concern, not a

5
00:00:09,995 --> 00:00:10,403
finding.

6
00:00:10,403 --> 00:00:11,220
People served:

7
00:00:11,220 --> 00:00:14,485
HCBS protections address integrated
settings, privacy, dignity, autonomy,

8
00:00:14,485 --> 00:00:17,341
visitors, tenancy safeguards,
and freedom from coercion.

9
00:00:17,341 --> 00:00:18,158
David Medeiros:

10
00:00:18,158 --> 00:00:21,423
Helping a person resist coercion
may receive anti-retaliation

11
00:00:21,423 --> 00:00:23,463
protection under covered
disability-rights rules.

12
00:00:23,463 --> 00:00:24,280
ABI Resources:

13
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,545
ABI may aid protected
rights, but actor coverage,

14
00:00:27,545 --> 00:00:30,810
state action, standing, and
remedy must be separately

15
00:00:30,810 --> 00:00:31,218
established.

16
00:00:31,218 --> 00:00:33,259
Constitutional claims
need state action;

17
00:00:33,259 --> 00:00:36,524
beneficiary choice does not
guarantee ABI referrals or

18
00:00:36,524 --> 00:00:37,340
a contract.

19
00:00:37,340 --> 00:00:40,197
Classify the issue
before choosing a remedy.

20
00:00:40,197 --> 00:00:43,054
Preserve leases, ownership, notices,
choice documents, restrictions,

21
00:00:43,054 --> 00:00:45,502
service changes, complaints,
and provider-change outcomes.

22
00:00:45,502 --> 00:00:48,359
Apply Constitution, statute,
regulation, contract, then record.
