People With Disabilities Foundation is a small nonprofit in the legal services sector focused on education and advocacy for individuals with psychiatric and/or developmental disabilities, with or without physical disabilities, to help them attain equal opportunities. It centers its work around two programs—advocacy and education/public awareness—and is based in San Francisco, California. Its advocacy work includes legal representation for SSI, Social Security Disability, and disability work incentive hearings and appeals, plus litigation, referrals, and consultations on employment accommodations, health care (Medi-Cal and Medicare), SSA work incentives, and post-secondary education. On the education side, PWDF hosts Bay Area seminars on topics such as employment, Social Security, housing, post-secondary education, health care, and multiculturalism, and produces training materials including videos and CDs. In August 2023, the foundation filed two discrimination lawsuits against the Social Security Administration, seeking reasonable accommodations for clients with schizophrenia.
