Scope and content:

The terms of the Willowbrook Consent Decree applied to all people who were residents of Willowbrook on March 17, 1972 (usually referred to as the "Willowbrook Class of 1972"). By the time the Consent Decree was issued, many class members had been transferred to other state-run residential facilities. The Review Panel therefore had the authority - and the responsibility - to ensure that other facilities housing former Willowbrook residents were in compliance with the terms of the Consent Decree. The Panel monitored the compliance of other facilities through a series of Related Facilities Audits.

This subseries contains files on Related Facilities Audits held in March and September 1977, September 1978, and September 1979. Files are arranged chronologically by audit date. In some cases, data in the collection was not marked with a specific audit date. This undated data is found at the end of the chronological file series. Also found at the end of the series are general related facilities audit files that are not associated with a specific audit date.

Arrangement:
Arranged chronologically, then alphabetically.
