Program Service Accomplishments

Program 1

Expenses: $3,914,875 Revenue: $4,862

During the past year, DRM successfully assisted people with disabilities in expanding opportunities to participate fully in all aspects of community life, and defending rights to self-determination, dignity, equality, choice and freedom from abuse and neglect. Our advocacy ensures that people with disabilities receive needed services and supports, such as access to health care, education, housing and transportation. 2024 accomplishments include: students with disabilities have increased protections from being unfairly or disproportionately suspended or expelled from school; people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities have access to needed health services provided in the home that allow them to remain in the community and avoid institutionalization; renters with disabilities are protected from eviction and receive reasonable modifications to their homes; and people with disabilities on Medicaid have healthcare coverage. We continue to advocate for improved paratransit services and improved sidewalks and curb cuts to facilitate transit. DRM also advocates on behalf of foster children with disabilities regarding the over-use of psychotropic medications, and to prevent children in foster care from being forced to remain in hospitals and emergency departments beyond medical necessity due to a lack of community placements and services.
