Sec. 2.
The purpose of this Act is to promote the operation of
community-integrated living arrangements for the supervision of persons with
mental illness and persons with a developmental disability by licensing
community mental health or developmental services agencies to provide an array
of community-integrated living arrangements for such individuals. These
community-integrated living arrangements are intended to promote independence
in daily living and economic self-sufficiency. The licensed community mental
health or developmental services agencies in turn shall be required to certify
to the Department that the programs and placements provided in the
community-integrated living arrangements comply with this Act, the Mental
Health and Developmental Disabilities Code, and applicable Department rules and
