Four staff photos decorate the cover in a theme with blue, and green tiles.

We are excited to share our 2024 Annual Report! This report presents the individual and systemic impacts we made to protect and empower Louisiana’s disability community last year. Highlights include that:

  • We provided individual legal and non-legal advocacy in approximately 2,300 cases, helping thousands of individuals with disabilities access critical services, autonomy, education, employment, healthcare, and safety from abuse and neglect;
  • We worked to improve healthcare access and stop abuse and neglect of approximately 30,000 people with disabilities through systemic litigation, monitoring, and investigations; and
  • We helped secure an additional $42 million in state funding for home and community-based healthcare services that will empower hundreds of adults to remain in their communities instead of being institutionalized.

“Our 2024 Annual Report showcases our unwavering commitment to our mission to protect and advocate for the rights of the 1.2 million people with disabilities in Louisiana. The report also demonstrates responsible stewardship and showcases the impact of your generosity on helping us transform lives across the state.

“These achievements are the result of collective effort, and I’m inspired every day by the passion and resilience of our team and the people we serve. While there is always more work ahead, I’m confident that we are on the right path—guided by our values, united by our mission, and driven by the belief that change is possible.

“Thank you for being part of this journey.

“In solidarity and with gratitude,
Ranie T. Thompson
Executive Director”
