Disability Network Washtenaw Monroe Livingston

Mission: To empower the lives of people with disabilities and advocate for a more inclusive community for all.

Founded in 1976, we were the fourth Center for Independent Living in the country and the first in Michigan. With now more than 600 Centers for Independent Living around the country and throughout the world, we are a recognized leader in improving the ways people with disabilities live their lives. We are a fun and dynamic staff of caring and passionate individuals.

We prove that what you want for your life is possible. Since 1976, we have worked hand-in-hand with you to help you live the life you want to live.

Every day, we impact the lives of individuals with disabilities living in our community. We help them to achieve fuller, more successful, and more meaningful lives, and we foster a true place of community and belonging. We are a growing and dynamic community enrichment, learning, and advocacy center. Through individualized counseling, advocacy efforts, skill-building classes, recreation and arts programming, and more, we help individuals with disabilities to build their skills, advocate for what they need, find friends, and feel at home. In addition to providing individualized services, community advocacy, and group workshops for your self-improvement, we are a dynamic community enrichment and recreation center filled with events and activities to help you connect with people and your passions. We are proud of the many ways we bring meaning to our community and improve the quality of life for individuals with disabilities.

Each year, we impact the lives of people throughout Southeast Michigan, including people with disabilities, their families and friends, and members of the business community.
