At the NYSACRA Annual Policy Forum in April 2003, not-for-profit agencies voiced strongly that the 1998 Economic Value Study should be updated. The study demonstrated the significant contribution group homes for people with developmental disabilities provide to the local community and their noteworthy positive impact on the economy and job creation. As voluntary not-for-profit providers, NYSACRA members know the extraordinary benefits of providing services and supports to people with developmental disabilities in the community through individual home, day, clinic, and respite services. This study does not examine those obvious benefits to people with developmental disabilities, but examines the positive economic value of operating residential programs to the surrounding community. NYSACRA commissioned the Evaluation Consortium at SUNY Albany to revise the study using 2000-2001 data and provided a comparison between the 1994-1995 results and the 2000-2001 results.
