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.

What’s going on at the IC?
As a civil rights organization, we believe everyone has the right to live, learn, work, play, and participate in civic life as equals. Our work has demonstrated again and again how difference makes us, our community, and our world stronger and more vibrant.
June is Pride Month—a time to celebrate the resilience, diversity, and contributions of the LGBTQ+ community. At The IC, we recognize the deep intersectionality between disability and LGBTQ+ identities. Many individuals belong to both communities, and we are committed to fostering a culture of inclusion, equity, and advocacy that honors the full spectrum of lived experiences. Everyone deserves to live authentically and accessibly, and we stand proudly with our LGBTQ+ community members this month and every month.
