Some potential barriers to anticipate is that people have limited time and finances to contribute to your efforts. As a newer person doing outreach, you may also feel a lack of reach, especially at first. You may also encounter different perspectives on Independent Living, shelter workshops, and the value of institutionalization. As a disability advocate, you may also experience some political pushback to changing how things have “always been done” a certain way and this can especially be tough when working on accessibility. Many rural places have developed trust between organizations and individuals over many years. Naturally, they will want to protect these relationships which could be threatened by change. Sometimes, this leads communities to be “change resistant” to avoid causing problems.
