I have been a client of The IC for a little more than two years. My life was in turmoil before being placed with The IC. Everyone is always willing to help find solutions, and find a way to give peace of mind to folks like me who just can’t handle the extras of life anymore. THANK YOU, IC, you have made a difference in my life!
I am very happy with The Independence Center staff. They helped me keep a roof over my head, and if I had any issues with inspections, they helped me get them resolved in a timely manner.
The support and resources provided by The IC have been incredibly helpful in my journey towards greater independence. The IC has been a beacon of hope and support, making a significant impact on my path to independence. Thank you for the opportunity to share my story and for the continued support from The IC community.
The IC is critical for those of us dealing with a disability. I felt helpless and the IC answered my call, and immediately put my mind at ease. I am so grateful for this organization.

Each February, we commemorate Black History Month to honor the invaluable contributions made by Black individuals to our nation’s history. This observance also serves to illuminate overlooked or silenced histories and voices. The Disability Rights and Civil Rights movements are intricately connected, and this intersectionality continues today.
Black History Month was first officially recognized in 1976, by then-President Gerald Ford, who urged Americans “to seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.”
