Year of Community Living and Ticket to Work Program
As you recall, on June 22, 2009, the Department of Health and Human Services commemorated
the 10th anniversary of the Olmstead v. L.C. decision with the announcement that 2009 would be
the “Year of Community Living.” To begin this “Year of Community Living,” HHS agencies
were tasked with aggressively addressing barriers that prevent some Americans with disabilities
from enjoying a meaningful life as part of their community.
