Protection and Advocacy of Individual Rights (PAIR)

disAbility Law Center of Virginia (dLCV), formerly Virginia Office for Protection and Advocacy (VOPA), offers Protection and Advocacy of Individual Rights Program (PAIR).

PAIR allows dLCV to expand its services to individuals with disabilities in the community who are not eligible for other advocacy programs.

An individual with a disability who requires information or services to overcome discrimination, barriers to living independently, or barriers to accessing benefits and services may be eligible for dLCV assistance under the PAIR Program. Additionally, individuals who need access to goods or services provided by private businesses may be eligible for legal advocacy or representation by dLCV. Individuals may be eligible for services under the PAIR Program only if they are not eligible for DD or PAIMI and are not receiving services under CAP.
