Stanovanje uz podršku za osobe sa intelektualnom ometenošću u Srbiji nije zakonom regulisano kao usluga u sistemu socijalne zaštite. Iz tog razloga ne postoje istraživanja koja bi sistematizovala praktična iskustva o vrstama, tipologiji i kvalitetu ove usluge. U ovom naučnom radu dat je jasan istorijski prikaz nastanka i razvoja stanovanja uz podršku za osobe sa intelektualnom ometenošću naglašavajući one društvene procese koji su doprineli da se tradicionalan model zaštite transformiše u proces pružanja pomoći i podrške i poštovanju ljudskih prava. U radu je dat prikaz različitih modela stanovanja uz podršku za različite društvene grupe sa ciljem da se ustanove osnovna polazišta i principi na kojima počiva ovaj model. U rezultatima istraživanja predstavljeni su osnovni kriterijumi na kojima počiva ovaj model, vrste i karakteristike stanovanja uz podršku prikazom dva dominantna modela: poluinstitucionalnog i otvorenog. U zaključku ovog rada definisane su preporuke za unapređenje ove usluge za osobe sa intelektualnom ometenošću u Srbiji.
