Adapt Of Texas

What Adapt Of Texas does

ADAPT of Texas is a 50+ year-old statewide grassroots disability rights advocacy organization headquartered in Austin, Texas, with active operations in El Paso through Desert ADAPT. The organization advocates for the civil rights of Texans with disabilities of all ages, focusing on preventing institutionalization, securing community-based attendant care, achieving living wages (target $15/hour) for personal care attendants, promoting accessible affordable housing, protecting voting rights, and defending key disability rights laws including Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, the ADA, and the Olmstead integration mandate.

The organization runs several advocacy programs: PACT's Community Attendant Project (operated through the wholly-owned Personal Attendant Coalition of Texas subsidiary), the Disability Voting Action Project (in partnership with REV UP Texas), the 'Access is a Civil Right' campaign, and documentary/video resources. Its technology footprint is minimal — consisting of a WordPress website, Facebook page, Zoom-based virtual events, and online petition tools — reflecting its grassroots, volunteer-driven character rather than a technology-oriented operation.

ADAPT of Texas is a private nonprofit organization with no commercial revenue model. It is funded through donations and member support, with ~25 employees coordinating activities across Texas. The organization maintains an extensive coalition network spanning national disability rights organizations (The Arc, ASAN, AAPD, NCIL), civil rights groups (ACLU), labor unions (SEIU), and Texas-specific partners. Recent strategic activity has centered on opposing the Texas v. Kennedy lawsuit challenging Section 504, including a July 2026 rally at the Texas Capitol and a May 2026 press conference at the Attorney General's office.
