September 6, 2023

![Rehabilitation Act 50 graphic](/sites/default/files/inline-images/Rehabilitation_Act_50_logo_1.png)

September 26, 2023 marked the 50th anniversary of the passage of the  [Rehabilitation Act of 1973](https://acl.gov/sites/default/files/about-acl/2020-07/rehabilitation-act-of-1973-amended-by-wioa.pdf), the first civil rights legislation protecting disabled people from discrimination. It prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in programs receiving federal financial assistance or conducted by federal agencies, in federal employment, and in the employment practices of federal contractors. A powerful law in its own right, the Rehab Act also paved the way for the Americans with Disabilities Act and other advancements in disability rights.

In addition, the Rehab Act created the [Independent Living Services program, the Centers for Independent Living program](https://acl.gov/node/410), and the [National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research](https://acl.gov/node/606), all of which are part of ACL today.

While there is still work to be done, the law shepherded a new era in disability rights and it serves as a cornerstone in a foundation we continue to build upon today.

Throughout September, partners across the federal government and in the disability community marked the anniversary of the Rehab Act with events, articles, and more to explore where we have been, where we are now, and where we are going next.

## Past Events

*These events have concluded, but we'll post links to recordings as they become available.*

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO) featured a panel discussion with disability rights leaders to examine the early days of the disability rights movement, successes, emerging issues, and the continued need for vigorous enforcement of fair housing and civil rights laws that prohibit discrimination against disabled people and ensure equal opportunity. Speakers included: disability rights attorney John Wodatch, who was the principal author of the first federal regulations implementing section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; Regina Blye, Chief Policy and Program Officer for the Dana and Christopher Reeve Foundation; Sean Barrett, Program Analyst, Compliance and Disability Rights Division, HUD FHEO; and Jeanine Worden, Associate General Counsel for Fair Housing at HUD.

###### *ACL's DETAC: Commemorating the Rehabilitation Act: The Power of Independent Living & Employment* September 19
