Abstract	Data from previous studies are presented that demonstrate that community living for persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) has improved in recent years, but that living in one's own home by these individuals is still a very rare outcome. Literature is presented that explains how living arrangements for adults with IDD have become more normalized over the years, and how these changes have been beneficial in terms of improving adaptive behavior, quality of life, and other important outcomes. It is noted, nevertheless, that there are still a large number of individuals living with family members or in congregate living facilities. Eight strategies directed toward families, professionals, and agencies are presented by the authors that, if implemented from early life of the person with IDD through adulthood, will result in more personal homes in the community for these individuals. The strategies include some relevant for personal development and have educational implications, and others that are relevant for creating structures to support independent living. (As Provided).
