HOUSING FOR PERSONS
WITH DEVELOPMENTAL
DISABILITIES
The number of places
where persons with
developmental disabilities
can be deprived of their
liberty is uncertain. This is
due to a variety of reasons,
including that many
persons with developmental
disabilities live in their own
home or in sheltered
housing facilities. The NPM
has yet to carry out visits
to this sector and has
therefore not finished
mapping it.
The figures are estimates based on a mapping conducted in 2014/2015, and updated in 2019.
