People with disabilities, apart from health problems, usually face social, occupational and economic constraints. To improve their lives, institutions are established in order to perform rehabilitation, support activities and provide financial support, as well as non-institutional activities, mainly within self-help groups. The purpose of the article is to show what forms of disability assistance are available and to what extent they provide normal lives for people with disabilities. What is more, this paper analyses expenditures on disabled people and assesses whether these resources are sufficient to provide the disabled people with help they need. The territorial scope of the article includes the Municipal Social Assistance Centre located in Jarosław, and the chronological range covers 2013-2015 period. The main research method used for the needs and realisation of the accepted research objectives was the analysis of the content of the documents and the descriptive method.
