Protection & Advocacy, Inc. 1978-2008 Disability Rights California 2009- History & funding: In 1975, after television news exposed horrific abuse and neglect at Willowbrook, a state institution for people with cognitive disabilities on Staten Island, New York Senator Jacob Javits successfully pushed Congress to mandate and fund Protection and Advocacy systems in each state. The laws which give Protection and Advocacy systems the special responsibility to protect and advocate for people with disabilities also give those organizations a unique tool with which to accomplish that task: access to facilities or programs providing their care, and access to their confidential records. This access permits Protection and Advocacy systems to conduct abuse or neglect investigations, provide information and training about the rights of individuals with disabilities, and monitor a facility or program's compliance with respect to the rights and safety of people who receive their services.

California's public safety net was frayed this year by cuts to SSI, In Home Supportive Services (IHSS), Medi-Cal, and regional center services. As a result, many Californians with disabilities were asked to forego the very services that allow them to live safely and independently in the community. Unfortunately, the Governor's budget issued just after the New Year proposes to eliminate much of what remains of the safety net, stitched together over 30 years. We have not yet convinced policy makers that, in the end, these cuts cost more. For every person who moves to a nursing home because of losing IHSS the State will have to pay an average of $59, 700 - more than five times the cost of IHSS services. Plus, the loss of home and dignity will take its toll. While it is true that the State faces a fiscal crisis, it is becoming clear we are also on the brink of a humanitarian disaster.
