"Prior Notification" policies have elicited fears of community opposition from agencies who have adopted a "low profile" approach in locating community-based residential facilities. Nevertheless, data from a survey of New Jersey community care providers indicate that local government officials express less opposition when informed of the proposed location and invited to meet with the provider. Arranging to meet with local officials is most important when neighbors have leadership, since officials express more intense opposition when neighbors invite them to a meeting. The literature has already established the fact that meeting with neighbors can facilitate mobilization and thereby engender more intense opposition, both from neighbors and from local officials. Hence, the available evidence suggests that providers should meet with local officials to discuss the community care program but should attempt to deal with neighbors individually. This strategy is compatible with the policy of "prior notification" adopted in New Jersey.
“预先通知”政策引发了一些机构对社区反对的担忧，这些机构在寻找社区住宅设施时采取了“低调”策略。然而，新泽西州社区护理提供者的一项调查数据表明，当被告知拟建地点并被邀请与提供者会面时，地方政府官员表达的反对较少。当邻居发挥主导作用时，与地方官员安排会面最为重要，因为当邻居邀请官员参加会议时，官员会表达更强烈的反对。文献已经证实，与邻居会面会促进动员，从而引发邻居和地方官员更强烈的反对。因此，现有证据表明，提供者应该与地方官员会面讨论社区护理项目，但应该尝试分别与邻居打交道。这一策略与新泽西州采用的“预先通知”政策是一致的。
