Empowering People With Physical Disabilities

The Access Mission

Access Independent Living Services is a grassroots organization founded by (and still directed by) consumers and attendants to address the lack of accessible housing and support services needed for individuals with physical support needs to live independently.

Access Independent Living Services offers unique care and service needs to individuals with highly personalized plans that cater to the unique needs and preferences of each consumer. If those services are not provided directly by Access, staff will help consumers find how to gain access to those services.
