Abstract	The report, one of a series describing innovative practices in integrating people with disabilities into community life, describes the Gig Harbor (Washington) group home which serves five severely retarded adults. The home is staffed by five people, two teams and the Director, with each team living in the house on alternate weeks. Topics covered include development of the Neighborhood Living Project which administers the home, the Project's procedures and philosophy (e.g., provision of a long-term home, opportunity to develop and maintain significant relationships, and opportunity to learn and do things for oneself). Also reported are problems the home faces. These include meeting the administrative requirement for extensive data collection which sometimes interferes with informal household routines and complying with state Medicaid regulations which question the placement of some of the residents and raises the issue of program accountability.
