Legal Advocacy for Deaf Communities
Legal Advocacy: our legal advocacy department handles intakes for legal and advocacy services from Deaf, DeafBlind, DeafDisabled, Hard of Hearing, and Late Deafened individuals and their families. This involves taking calls, emails, and other communications from those individuals and determining the type of legal or advocacy assistance needed. Upon completing an intake for any individual situation, we make a determination of what guidance they need and provide either direct assistance or a referral to a lawyer, legal entity, or other type of service entity to give them the services they need. In the latter half of 2024 when we started our organization, we directly served approximately 250 people.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2024 – Dec 31, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$31KPolicy Advocacy for Deaf Rights
