Gov. Tony Evers has elected to redesignate the Client Assistance Program (CAP) from the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) to Disability Rights Wisconsin (DRW.)
Based on public feedback, the redesignation was supported by individuals with disabilities, their representatives, and the general public. Wisconsin’s Client Assistance Program (CAP) assists clients to work or live independently through information about employment, vocational rehabilitation, independent living services, and complaint mediation.
The designation will allow CAP to utilize DRW’s current resources, expertise, and infrastructure for advocating for people with disabilities. The designation of the Wisconsin Client Assistance Program to DRW is effective starting September 30, 2021. For more information about DRW, visit DisabilityRightsWI.org.
