Center for People With Disabilities

Center for People With Disabilities is a consumer-controlled Center for Independent Living, and most of its staff and board members are people with disabilities. Its mission is to provide resources, information and advocacy that help people with disabilities overcome barriers to living independently. Core programs include peer support, independent living skills training, youth transition services, and help moving into community living.

The center also assists with SSI and SSDI benefits, runs an employment program and the Veterans Independence Program, and offers disability etiquette training. People can reach the center by phone or through its contact form, and it can sign people up for its newsletter and updates. Its information and referral service helps people find the right resources when they are not sure where to start.
