I contacted them back in February and it turns out that they did send a list broken down by county, along with a guide to "navigating residential placement". I remembered contacting them, but I had forgotten that they had actually sent something; there have been so many emails and phone calls, and so much information to organize. Thanks for reminding me about this!
