Abstract:
Implementation of group homes often come up against the "Not in My Back Yard" (NIMBY) phenomenon. In order to better understand this phenomenon, this pilot study examines the experience of community residents in three borough where opposition to the implementation of group homes was encountered. Results reveal the underlying reasons for this problem as well as explore the negative impact of the presence of such group homes in the community. Finally, the author concludes that listening to citizens and acknowledging their concerns are essential to developing greater acceptance and a better support towards group homes.
