Our Mission
To promote personal empowerment and positive social change for persons with disabilities.
Our Vision
-
A person is not identified as having a disability but is seen as a person.
-
Employers seek qualified employees, regardless of disability and provide reasonable accommodations.
-
Workplaces, public spaces, programs, and services are designed for everyone. Transportation options are widely available.
-
Government agencies provide willing assistance and supports.
-
Mentoring and self-advocacy training are readily available.
-
We design homes to be practical, affordable, and conveniently located near jobs or public transportation.
Our Core Beliefs
-
Disabilities are a natural part of life.
-
Anyone can acquire a disability at any time.
-
Many of the difficulties faced by people with disabilities are a result of attitudes and environments, not the disability.
-
The experiences of individuals with disabilities contribute to the strength and character of our community.
-
Everyone should have the opportunity to participate, contribute and belong to our community.
-
Everyone should have the opportunity to express his or her strengths, gifts and talents.
