HB 1049: Desegregation of group homes

Promoting the desegregation of group homes.

Summary

  • The Legislature finds that in order to carry out the Washington Housing Policy Act and to facilitate the mainstreaming of persons with disabilities into local communities, group homes should be integrated throughout communities and not clustered in neighborhoods that recreate an institutional environment. Counties, cities, and towns may regulate the dispersion of group homes in residential neighborhoods.
