Our staff provides information, referrals, and support to people with a wide variety of disabilities. We also work on a larger scale, helping governments, businesses, and other organizations make changes that improve life for everyone in the community.

MISSION

To connect people with disabilities to resources and opportunities while building communities where everyone can participate, contribute and belong.

OUR NETWORK

Our office is part of a state and national network serving people with disabilities (www.dnmichigan.org). On the state level, we have a board of directors, participate in committees, share ideas, address public policy issues with our legislators, and seek funding to build the network.

On the federal level, many of us belong to the National Council on Independent Living (www.ncil.org). This group monitors and encourages advocacy on federal legislation, as well as the policy that governs federally funded centers like ours across the US.
