The Research and Training Center on Community Living (RTC-CL) develops evidence-based programs, policies and practices that further community living and participation among people with disabilities. The goal of the RTC-CL is to increase the interdependence and full community participation of people with disabilities through the development and implementation of scientifically sound, theoretically driven and evidence-based interventions.
Six research projects are analyzing secondary data to learn how barriers to and experiences of community living may differ across socio-demographic and geographic groups. With this information as a foundation, five more projects will test new strategies designed to improve community living opportunities for individuals with disabilities. These interventions focus on housing, health, recreation and community and civic involvement. Two systematic scoping reviews will also inform the other projects.
