00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:01.016
Question 84.

00:00:01.016 --> 00:00:04.281
Were truly independent housing
options offered and documented

00:00:04.281 --> 00:00:06.730
before a provider-connected
residence was selected?

00:00:06.730 --> 00:00:09.995
The 2023 report raises
a concern, not a

00:00:09.995 --> 00:00:10.403
finding.

00:00:10.403 --> 00:00:11.220
People served:

00:00:11.220 --> 00:00:14.485
HCBS protections address integrated
settings, privacy, dignity, autonomy,

00:00:14.485 --> 00:00:17.341
visitors, tenancy safeguards,
and freedom from coercion.

00:00:17.341 --> 00:00:18.158
David Medeiros:

00:00:18.158 --> 00:00:21.423
Helping a person resist coercion
may receive anti-retaliation

00:00:21.423 --> 00:00:23.463
protection under covered
disability-rights rules.

00:00:23.463 --> 00:00:24.280
ABI Resources:

00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:27.545
ABI may aid protected
rights, but actor coverage,

00:00:27.545 --> 00:00:30.810
state action, standing, and
remedy must be separately

00:00:30.810 --> 00:00:31.218
established.

00:00:31.218 --> 00:00:33.259
Constitutional claims
need state action;

00:00:33.259 --> 00:00:36.524
beneficiary choice does not
guarantee ABI referrals or

00:00:36.524 --> 00:00:37.340
a contract.

00:00:37.340 --> 00:00:40.197
Classify the issue
before choosing a remedy.

00:00:40.197 --> 00:00:43.054
Preserve leases, ownership, notices,
choice documents, restrictions,

00:00:43.054 --> 00:00:45.502
service changes, complaints,
and provider-change outcomes.

00:00:45.502 --> 00:00:48.359
Apply Constitution, statute,
regulation, contract, then record.
