| hi.=A0 for anyone in the chicago area, Access Living is conducting research
| this
| summer on barriers to employment for persons who are BVI as part of an
| economic
| empowerment project they are launching.

**will people with disabilities in the community have access to this research
or does Access Living consider any results proprietary and their own internal
work product?  Also who is funding this project?

rene Luna is the contact=
|  person on
| this project.=A0 He told me he is looking for folks who are unemployed but
| looking for work, which applies to many persons in our community.

Why is he uninterested in people who are employed, economically
self-sufficient taxpayers?  Obviously, these people overcame many barriers to
become employed.  What is so wrong with talking with people who are making it
and learning how they successfully navigated the obstacles and barriers that
prevent employment for many.
