We work on behalf of people with disabilities to combat all forms of discrimination, abuse and neglect through monitoring, investigations and legal action.
We support people with disabilities of all ages in order to advance individual rights and create systems change that focuses on community integration and quality of life.
We provide people with disabilities the tools, resources and assistance that empower them to exercise maximum independence and self-determination.
Happy Holidays! DRLA offices are closed through December 26, so any calls for assistance received during that time will have a delayed response.
While our offices are reopening on December 29, DRLA will be closed for New Year’s Day.
Thank you for your patience during this holiday season. DRLA offices will resume normal hours of operation on January 5th and our team will ensure all calls received during our time away are returned.

Incredible news: We exceeded our year-end goal—raising $15,542!
Because of you, we’re building the donor support needed to power our work at a critical moment—while community needs grow and federal funding becomes increasingly uncertain. Thank you.
Your support helps us answer nearly 10 calls every day from people fighting for their rights to live safe, healthy, and integrated lives. Together, we are:
ADVOCATING for the services and conditions people need to live safely and independently
PROTECTING our community from abuse and holding institutions accountable
EMPOWERING people through training, policy change, and legal action
The fight ahead is real: Medicaid cuts are coming. Special education protections are weakening. New regulations are promoting institutionalization. Our federal funding uncertainty remains.
Every dollar donated beyond our goal helps us meet this moment.
