- United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) ranked Mississippi worst out of 50 states and the District of Columbia in a 2014 national report. According to the state's scorecard, Mississippi has five large state facilities housing 1,441 people at a cost of $98,550 per person per year. The state did not report 2012 survey data in a nationwide quality assurance program, nor did it report how many people were on waiting lists, UCP said. The report also noted that the state was seeing declines in disabled people receiving help to stay in their own or family homes, or to support them in competitive employment
