Grant Award Summary

Disability Rights Michigan received a formula grant award of $392,214 from the Administration on Disabilities under the Developmental Disabilities Basic Support and Advocacy Grants program (CFDA 93.630) for the period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2027. As Michigan's designated protection and advocacy system, the organization delivers comprehensive legal advocacy and rights protection services to individuals with developmental disabilities, including investigation and resolution of abuse and neglect complaints, benefits counseling, assistive technology support, and voting access facilitation to promote community integration and self-determination.

The award supports Disability Rights Michigan's systemic advocacy efforts designed to ensure that individuals with developmental disabilities can exercise their legal and constitutional rights, access necessary accommodations, and participate fully in civic life. The organization leverages this funding through its internal capacity and maintains sub-grant partnerships with entities such as the University of Illinois for ADA training and technical assistance, enabling the organization to extend its reach and enhance the comprehensive system of supports available to Michigan's disability community.
