The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services has awarded a $131,917 Formula Grant under the Rehabilitation Services Client Assistance Program (CFDA 84.161) to Disability Rights NM, doing business as the National Disability Rights Network. This one-year grant, effective from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025, will support Disability Rights NM in providing critical legal and advocacy services to individuals with disabilities in New Mexico. Through this funding, Disability Rights NM will deliver comprehensive client assistance services, including advising clients on available vocational rehabilitation and independent living benefits, helping with service applications, resolving disputes with service providers, and advocating for the civil rights and full community participation of individuals with disabilities. As the designated Protection and Advocacy (P&A) system for New Mexico, the organization will leverage its extensive experience and diverse portfolio of federal grants to ensure that people with various disabilities, such as mental health conditions, developmental disabilities, and traumatic brain injuries, can access the services and support they need to live independently and actively participate in their communities.
