CIVIL LEGAL SERVICES FEASIBILITY STUDY AND REPORT

This report is funded by a grant to The Arc of Spokane from the Spokane County Developmental Disabilities Division and is based on a feasibility study conducted from February through May of 2023.

The feasibility study’s purpose is to:

• Determine whether we can bridge the gap for those with IDD and their families as they fight for their human and legal rights.

• Examine appropriate models, partnerships, and funding streams to better understand if we can offer legal assistance to an underrepresented group of people who are in desperate need of access.

• Research and create a prototype model that could become a disability advocacy best practice.
