Objectives/Priorities for Services

Fiscal Year 2007

The Arizona Center for Disability Law (Center) is a non-profit legal services organization designated by the Governor as the Protection and Advocacy (P &A) System for the State of Arizona.

The Center operates federally funded grant programs to protect and advocate for the legal rights of persons with disabilities. The terms of these grants only allow us to serve individuals who fit into specific federal eligibility categories. Demand for our services far exceeds available resources; therefore, we must plan activities in a strategic manner to most effectively utilize our limited resources.

In addition to the objectives and priorities listed below, the Center also utilizes the following criteria when deciding when and how to represent any individual.

Case Selection Criteria

1. The applicant must meet the program eligibility guidelines and the legal problems must fall within an objective and priority for services.

2. Services will be provided only to persons whose legal problems are related to their status as an individual with a disability, whose legal problems are susceptible to resolution by Center staff and whose claim has legal merit.

3. Services will generally only be provided to individuals whose problems cannot be solved by other individuals, agencies, attorneys or organizations.

4. Even within priority areas, services will be contingent upon the availability of staff and resources.
