I'm searching for groups that advocate for the mobility challenged – for neighborhood infrastructure improvements.

A friend and I have been discussing neighborhood sidewalks and the challenges some face in places in our city.

Are there organizations that advocate for the mobility challenged so that they can receive neighborhood improvements? Maybe they can give us advice as to legal precedents, tell us about positive trends of municipal action that led to improving things in older neighborhoods that tend to have poorer sidewalks?

Our neighborhood group can engage with City Hall and elected officials better if we have more knowledge and advice.

Are there organizations that offer matching grants for municipalities if they make infrastructure improvements? Are there organizations that conduct surveys and studies to identify recommended actions?

Thanks in advance, and greetings from southern New Mexico.

Tom
