2009 was a banner year at the Disability Rights Legal Center thanks to your support!

• We provided Options counseling to 1,719 people with disabilities
  

• We reached over 19,900 people with our Community Outreach Program’s academies, presentations, workshops, and public awareness activities
  

• We reached over 28,000 people through the Cancer Legal Resource Center’s education and outreach efforts and Telephone Assistance Line
  

• We ensured that more than 130,000 IHSS recipients continue to receive In Home Supportive Services and remain living independently at home due to a lawsuit, V.L. v. Wagner.
  

• We are ensuring that the needs of hundreds of thousands of residents with disabilities are incorporated into the city and county's emergency preparedness plans in the lawsuit CALIF, et al. v. City of Los Angeles, County of Los Angeles.

We could not have done any of this without your generous support. Our impact will continue in 2010 with your contribution.
