Disability Rights Montana Details
Disability Rights Montana, formerly Montana Advocacy Program, is more than 35 years old.In 1977, we had only one funding source. In those early years, DD MAP – as we were then known – contracted its legal services with two Helena attorneys, and concentrated solely on providing advocacy and legal services to people with developmental disabilities. Today, Disability Rights Montana has eight funding sources, employs an executive director, three attorneys, seven advocates, a program director, a paralegal, a data coordinator, a finance/administration director, and an office coordinator.In July 2008, we proudly opened our new location at 1022 Chestnut Street in Helena, Montana. After almost two years of searching and securing a fully-accessible facility, we now have a place and the space to do civil rights work and truly support the disability community. We now offer fully-accessible parking and meeting and multimedia rooms to like-minded groups.We are one of the first Protection & Advocacy groups in the nation to purchase its own building. Ownership controls our costs and allows us to expand our services.Our AuthorityDisability Rights Montana is the federally-mandated civil rights protection and advocacy system for Montana.
