The Community Care Facilities Act (Health & Saf. Code §§1500-1567.8) provides that a community care facility serving six or fewer persons is a both a residential and single-family use of property. Such residential facilities are family home or group care facilities providing 24-hour nonmedical care to persons in need of services essential to sustain daily living activities or protection of the person. Examples include, but are not limited to, group care homes for the elderly and the disabled. Similarly, alcohol or drug abuse recovery or treatment facilities serving six or fewer persons are also considered a residential use of property. (Heath & Saf. Code §§11834.20–11834.25) Public policy favors establishment of group homes and community associations may not prohibit otherwise lawful group homes through restrictions.
