The Federal Grant Award in the amount of $236,091.00 was provided by the Administration on Disabilities, a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, under the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) Protection and Advocacy Systems Grant Program (CFDA 93.618). The funding supports Disability Rights Rhode Island (DRRI), the state's designated Protection and Advocacy (P&A) system, in ensuring full electoral participation and voting access for individuals with disabilities in Rhode Island. The HAVA P&A grant enables DRRI to provide a range of services, including legal advocacy, rights protection, voter registration assistance, election access guidance, and systems change efforts to promote accessibility and civic participation for individuals with developmental disabilities, mental illness, traumatic brain injuries, and other disability classifications. This five-year grant, spanning from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2029, allows DRRI to deliver critical support across multiple domains of individual and systemic advocacy to ensure individuals with disabilities in Rhode Island can fully exercise their voting rights.
