Overview

Mission

To promote options that empower people with disabilities to achieve their full potential and live independently, fully participate in their community, and exercise their rights as citizens. It shall challenge, through advocacy, education and citizen action, those systems that limit such options.

What it reported doing in 2024

CASE SERVICES - During the fiscal year, there were 43 consumers that received financial support from Part B Case Service Funds and/or from other sources. These funds were used to remove or modify barriers allowing the consumer to live and/or work more independently in their homes and workplace. These modifications may include ramps, bathroom modifications, and other accessibility modifications. In some cases, household goods are provided to consumers leaving nursing homes and going back into the community. Also, we have provided assistance with transportation services housing application fees and safety equipment such as vibrating alarm clocks and flashing doorbells and smoke detectors for deaf and hard of hearing individuals. We also provided security deposits for apartments and funds for DMV IDs and birth certificates. We also assisted with wheelchairs and other durable medical equipment.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 99% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
