자립생활주택 전담 사회복지사의 탈시설 장애인 자립지원에 관한 연구

Abstract

Independent Living Housing for the Disabled is a residential space where people with disabilities can train and practice self-reliance after leaving a residential facility. Along with the discussion on deinstitutionalization, each local government implemented various deinstitutionalization projects, and the disabled who prepared for independence in independent living houses settled into the local community. Accordingly, this study examined how social workers in charge of independent living housing recognize and experience support for self-reliance for the disabled, any difficulties and whether there are any needs for improvement. A subjective questionnaire and focus group interview were conducted with 15 people who were in charge of independent living housing in Incheon, and a qualitative study was conducted using the keyword analysis method. As a result of the study, there was a conflict between the value philosophical perception of self-reliance and practical support, and the independent living housing was operated like a welfare center program provider rather than a residential space. In addition, difficulties in finding housing after eviction from independent living housing, problems in the support method for self-reliance settlement funds, and problems with relationships and perceptions with neighbors were revealed. Based on the research results, this study suggested policy stabilization of housing, improvement of the procedure for self-reliance subsidy, and reinforcement of the function of the transition support center as a comprehensive self-reliance support delivery system. Reinforcement of, supervisory, and case management capabilities was suggested.
