(a) The General Assembly finds and declares that:

(1) an increasing number of adults in the State are unable, because of disability, to reside in the community without a supportive housing arrangement;

(2) many of these adults are therefore homeless, unnecessarily institutionalized, or residing in substandard housing; and
