Overview

Mission

To defend the freedom of individuals with disabilities to live in their homes, not nursing homes, and to advocate for community integration and civil rights.

What it reported doing in 2024

Providing educational opportunities regarding community based services so people with disabilities can live independently. We provide education through people with disabilities who share their real stories as well as older americans who also are subject to much discrimination. These life stories show how individuals can confront the barriers and discrimination that exists in all communities throughout the united states. Adapt participants will educate policy makers on the need for reformation of federal and state policies and funding. The goal of these efforts will be to increase the ability of people with disabilities and older americans to integrate as equals in all communities throughout the united states.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 61% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
