There are three protections that uphold having affordable and residential housing for those person who suffer from a mental disability. The first is the Olmstead act that calls for the states to make a comprehensive plan that will create "less restrictive " housing. However in 2005 the state of Virginia incorporated some extensive and  costly regulations that made residential- setting housing look like mini institutions. The homelike environment was usurp by medication aides, dietitians,healthcare over sites and having nurses as administrator.The second, was the jlarc study that showed the cost of these regulations and how it would negatively impact the small business because we were not getting the pay t hat would allow for this increase of restrictive regulations. The jlarc study also stated that homes should be paid at a rate of four thousand a dollars inoder to maintain compliance. We are only paid one thousand one hundred and fifty. The third protection is Governor Odonnell Executive Order 14 . This order called for departments to view the impact of costly regulations on small business and intrusiveness. The Department of Social Service clearly disregarded this order. They had rap sessions that used not one idea of small businesses and ignored all pleads for more studies on developing regulations that met the need of the client but also their continuous need for affordable housing.
