Mission
Disability Rights Maryland (DRM) is the only non-profit organization exclusively focused on providing free legal advocacy services to people with all types of disabilities, of all ages and in all settings, statewide.
Program accomplishments
- DRM defends the rights of people with disabilities to be free from abuse and neglect, and to have self-determination, dignity, equality, choice, and access. As a result of DRMs work, students with disabilities are more fully included in schools; people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities have access to home-based care that prevents institutionalization; renters with disabilities are protected from eviction and receive reasonable modifications to their homes; people with disabilities on Medicaid have healthcare coverage; and people with psychiatric disabilities receive services in safer environments free of coercion. DRM continues to advocate for improved transportation and accessibility for people with physical disabilities, for safer and more humane treatment of incarcerated people with disabilities; and for children with disabilities in the foster care system to have safe community placements and appropriate services and healthcare. DRM also provides trainings to inform people of their rights and to empower their self-advocacy skills.Expenses $4,072,560 · revenue $4,900
