Disability Rights North Carolina
About
Disability Rights North Carolina is the federally designated protection and advocacy agency for the state, with offices on Corporate Center Drive in west Raleigh. Its authority comes from federal law, and its reach covers all of North Carolina, not one county or region.
The work has three parts: protecting rights, helping people advocate for themselves, and pushing for changes that outlast any single case. Staff attorneys take on matters that fit the agency’s priorities, and it publishes what those priorities are so people know where it is putting its effort.
