“We also provided information/referral services regarding a wide variety of issues related to disability/accessibility to over 1,500 people. Through a board generated fund, we provided both new and gently-used assistive technology and durable medical equipment to over 20 consumers unable to fund these items by any other means. Our legal services program provided free legal services, including representation in court, to over 130 individuals on cases ranging from social security benefits to eviction cases to issues related to healthcare access. Our community activities program hosted multiple social gatherings, holiday celebrations, arts workshops, music sessions, game nights, regular film and tv screenings, as well as outings to museums and baseball games. We provided ongoing professional life coaching services to a group of 8 consumers seeking to improve their lives by increasing their independence, establish financial stability, make career changes, etc. Most notably, during this fiscal year wheelchair and mobility aid repair program went into full throttle and made a huge impact not just in the community, but in our service provision. The program, which we've built from the ground up, offers consumers with free maintenance and repair services not covered by insurance, supplies consumers with loaner mobility devices when their repairs are underway or while they wait for insurance to provide news devices, and even provides emergency house calls and wheelchair accessible transportation to those who may be stranded. In addition, we hosted workshops and created video resources on mobility device maintenance and care, wheelchair safety, insurance claims 101, etc. The program has turned out to be incredibly popular, especially with consumers who have never turned to ilrcsf for support. It has brought these people into our fold, with many choosing to explore our at program and lending library, our community activities program, and our general array of services. In short, people come to ilrcsf for a wheelchair repair, and end up becoming part of the long-term ilrcsf family, and making use of an array of services and programs that support and encourage independent, community-based living. Ilrcsf staff continued with advocacy regarding benefits, housing, and ongoing efforts to improve accessibility on public transportation (bart.) newer advocacy issues included advocating in favor of autonomous vehicles in sf, which have increased mobility and freedom for many pwds. As always, we promoted the importance of voter registration and participation and offered voter registration support and information to all consumers. Ilrcsf's services are offered in english, spanish, and several dialects of chinese. We have staff members who are fluent in all of these languages, as well as staff fluent in farsi and asl. When working with consumers who have other language needs, we use language line. Ilrcsf provides resources in alternative formats upon request and is happy to provide reasonable accommodations related to disability.”
