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".
