Abstract

Drawing on the social-ecological framework, this chapter examines how district government policies influence the HCBS program on the macro level. We employ the geographic information system (GIS) strategy to analyze the patterns of how the District government chose the locations of service centers to expand the HCBS program for older adults. Using government archives, policy documents, and census data, we dissect the strategies for allocating public resources to optimize the HCBS program’s ability to accommodate elderly clients’ needs.
