Community Outreach to People with Disabilities

It is our belief that any person with a disability can live outside an institution, if she/he is willing to accept the risks and responsibilities in order to enjoy self - determination and liberty. To that end, the staff and clients are experts in helping with everything from finding an apartment to applying for benefits, weddings, from computer classes to camping trips.
