About Disability Rights Mississippi
Disability Rights Mississippi is a tax-exempt, non-profit organization based in Jackson, Mississippi, that serves as the state's designated protection and advocacy system for individuals with disabilities. Registered in SAM.gov since August 2004, the organization functions as a prime recipient of federal grant awards focused on delivering legal advocacy, rights protection, and related services to vulnerable populations in Mississippi. The organization does not serve as a federal contract prime awardee but maintains a robust portfolio of federal grant funding to support its mission of protecting and advancing the rights of individuals with disabilities throughout the state.
Disability Rights Mississippi receives formula and project grants from multiple federal agencies to provide comprehensive advocacy and protection services across several disability populations and issue areas. Under the Administration on Disabilities (part of HHS), the organization administers multiple formula grants including the Developmental Disabilities Act (DD ACT) State Protection and Advocacy Systems program, which provides legal advocacy and rights protection for individuals with developmental disabilities; the Assistive Technology Act (PAAT) program for advocacy related to assistive technology access; the Traumatic Brain Injury Act (PATB) program serving individuals with brain injuries; and the Help America Vote Act (PAVA) program ensuring voting accessibility for people with disabilities. Additionally, through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Disability Rights Mississippi administers the Protection and Advocacy for Individuals with Mental Illness (PAIMI) program, which addresses complaints of abuse, neglect, and rights violations for adults with significant mental illness and children with significant emotional disturbances. The organization also receives funding from the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services for the Protection and Advocacy of Individual Rights (PAIR) program under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which provides legal and advocacy services protecting disability rights generally. Beyond these primary advocacy programs, Disability Rights Mississippi has received project grants from the Social Security Administration to protect Social Security beneficiaries by educating representative payees about their responsibilities and investigating cases of financial exploitation. The organization also received a block grant from the Administration on Disabilities focused on expanding the public health workforce within the disability network. Furthermore, Disability Rights Mississippi has served as a sub-grantee under the Mississippi Department of Mental Health, providing advocacy assistance to children in the special education system to address challenges including service access, behavioral support, and healthcare navigation.
