An evaluation of the Jacksonville developmental center closure
  In January 2012, Illinois Governor Pat Quinn announced his rebalancing initiative in an effort to move away from institutionally-based services toward community-based supports for people with IDD. The goal was to close four State Operated Developmental
Centers (SODCs) and transition residents to community settings; Jacksonville Developmental Center (JDC) was one of the facilities slated to close (Illinois Government News Network, 2012). The Illinois Department of Public Health contracted the Institute on Disability and Human Development (IDHD) at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) to conduct an evaluation of the JDC closure.
