My mom was institutionalized when she had no other choice, and the effects on her health and wellbeing, and on me as her kid, were devastating. When fewer people have the choice to live in their communities, we all suffer.
The Administration for Community Living, housed in HHS, is shutting down. I spoke to disability experts for @motherjones.com about questions they have for what’s next, the services ACL provides, and how this move may lead to more folks being institutionalized. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The shutdown will mean "more people forced into institutional settings."
