Individuals eligible for Protection and Advocacy for Individuals with Mental Illness (PAIMI) must have significant mental illness or emotional impairment, and may reside in residential facilities or in the community or their own homes. The facilities, which may be public or private, include hospitals, nursing homes, community facilities, board and care homes, homeless shelters, jails and prisons. Even with the expansion of eligibility, PAIMI programs will be required to give priority to representing persons with mental illness who live in residential treatment facilities especially related to issues of seclusion and/or restraint or death investigations.
