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?
In 1988, the United States Congress designated October as National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) to “acknowledge the contributions to the nation’s economy made by workers with disabilities, current and past.”
The right to work, and be paid fairly for that work, has been an ongoing struggle for many groups of people, and people with disabilities are no exception.
