Disability Rights North Carolina

Disability Rights North Carolina (DRNC) is the only organization dedicated to advancing and defending the rights of people with all types of disabilities, of all ages, statewide. We advocate using a wide array of legal and other strategies, from information and referral to systemic litigation. DRNC’s areas of practice include education, housing, health and mental health care, community access and supports, voting rights, and monitoring and investigating abuse and neglect in facilities, such as psychiatric hospitals, developmental centers, prison, jails and schools. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and the federally mandated protection and advocacy organization in NC.
