Group Homes by Dwight Merriam

Group Homes by Dwight Merriam

Group Homes fills a critical gap in the literature by analyzing and applying federal antidiscrimination law to the practical problems of planning for and regulating group homes for people with disabilities.

This book fills a void in the literatureHere we have in one highly readable volume all of the issues of planning for and regulating group homes, with a comprehensive treatment of the law, of course, but also good, practical advice and even draft regulations. -- Patricia E. Salkin, dean and professor of law, Touro College, Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center Even as a practitioner with four decades in the trenches, I'm impressed at how much I learned from Group Homes. Brian Connolly and Dwight Merriam have succeeded in distilling a large body of law and literature into a book that will serve local government, advocates, and neighbors well. -- Edward J. Sullivan, chair of the Land Use Department, Garvey Schubert Barer I have my perspective as an advocate for group home development, and I do not agree with all the authors have to say, but I must tell you that Group Homes is the best, most balanced treatment of the law, public policy, planning, and regulation for group homes. -- Steven G. Polin, general counsel, Oxford House
