Program areas at Elder Law and Disability Rights Center
In 2022, Elder Law Disability Rights Center continued its unique legal services to the most vulnerable members of the community.through advocacy, education, and the provision of free and low-cost legal services, the eldr Center strives to ensure dignity and justice for members of our communities who are elderly, living with disabilities, or experiencing homelessness. We provided services to people who could not otherwise obtain help and could not afford a private attorney. Despite so many challenges related to covid-19, we continued services uninterrupted into 2022 and increased available services. Our office prioritizes services to those experiencing homelessness. We meet our clients where they are to overcome legal barriers to short and long-term housing, including deprivation of public benefits, criminalization of poverty, denial of due process, and more. We also meet older adults where they allow our clients to age with dignity and independence through end of life planning and empowerment through education. Finally, we serve those who are historically marginalized and unrepresented in disputes with institutions including jails and schools whose needs are directly related to their disabilities. The work we do saves lives, all the while preserving the dignity of these disenfranchised individuals. Not only did we advocate and represent the unhoused directly, we litigated critical cases that held municipalities accountable for their violations of civil Rights to their constituents and failures to maintain public services required by Law. Beyond representing individuals and key organizations in impact litigation, we extend the reach of our support by engaging in projects that maximize the efficacy of our limited resources. Elder Law clinics allow us to connect with many who needed brief guidance in particular issues, and quickly screen individuals who need more intricate services. We also partner with larger organizations and governments to improve policy. Even more, we broadened our influence on the communitythrough presentations and speaking engagements in orange county and beyond.
