Living independently often depends on having a housing situation that supports a person in his or her own home, or a work environment that eliminates barriers to employment.

The disAbility Resource Center was built to be a community resource.  People with disabilities, family members, Occupational and Physical Therapists, building and remodeling contractors and others with an interest in universal design are welcome to visit us to get ideas and resources for home and office modifications and barrier removal.

Finding accessible affordable housing in the community is another challenge, and one that is not easily overcome.  Knowledgeable staff can direct you to other organizations that may be able to help.

At the disAbility Resource Center, you can:

• Find information on how to modify your home, work or living environment to make it more "user-friendly"
• Find information on builders and contractors who understand your needs
• Find information on how to obtain financing to accomplish needed modifications
• Come see our own offices, full modified useable kitchen and full modified bathrooms to try examples of modifications and assistive technology that may work for you.
• Get information on affordable, accessible apartments in the area, and how to pursue rental subsidies.
