Mission:
Access Living is a non-residential, non-profit center for independent
living which advocates on behalf of and provides services to anyone
with any kind of disability. Staffed by a majority of people with
disabilities, we have been helping people reach their goals of independence
since 1980. Access Living deals with issues of housing; health
care reform and personal assistance; youth; civil
rights; and empowerment zones. We work toward the full
inclusion, empowerment and equality of people with disabilities
in all aspects of life. Access Living's efforts focus on:
- Peer-oriented independent living
services
- Community outreach and education
- Advocacy
- Community organizing
- Civil rights
