independent living, and inclusion and integration into all aspects of society.

Each year, NCD’s annual Progress Report focuses on different topics and examines how people with disabilities are faring in the selected areas and offers recommendations on how to improve outcomes for people with disabilities.

The 2017 Progress Report will focus on poverty – and how to lift people with disabilities out of its grip.

Current research indicates people with disabilities are more likely to live in poverty than those without a disability.

This report will address why people with disabilities are often destined to live in poverty and experience high unemployment despite existing federal regulations and public policy geared towards improving the lives of people with disabilities, and offer recommendations for change.

The estimated contract period is 10 months.
