After The Supreme Court Decision Halderman v. Pennhurst, Pennhurst was closed and residents were relocated. Residents who were higher functioning were placed in community-based group homes where they could re-integrate with society. Lower-functioning residents were moved to other state institutions. Contrary to myth, Pennhurst residents were not simply sent out into the streets to fend for themselves. For more information, Google "Pennhurst Longitudinal Study".

What happened to the land set aside for the Arab residents in Israel in 1948?

As concerns the lands given to the possible Arab State as described in the 1947 Partition Plan, they passed under the occupation of Israel, Egypt, and Jordan. This happened due to the armistice agreement at the end of the Arab-Israeli War of 1949. The Arab State was never declared. Concerning the Arab residents who remained in Israel at and after its declaration as a sovereign state in May 1948 and through the war that followed, those were the predecessors of the present-day Arab-Israeli citizens and residents of the mostly-Arab towns in Israel.
