Why is that people with disabilities either live at Home with their Parents or They live in a
Group Home?

There seems to be always talk about them living in their own homes or apartments, and if they do, it's only a small percentage. Ever notice that?

I've never really looked into it.

I have lived on a college campus.

I'm at home currently due to have no job and when I do get one and have enough money I'll buy my own place to live.

I live at home because I goto college locally. It saves cash.
