Founded in 1988, Progress Center for Independent Living mission has been to provide people with disabilities, tools, to be independent in integrated, community-based settings. We provide services and resources that support independence, we provide training to empower people to navigate barriers to independence, and we work on a systems level to impact policy that will increase opportunities for people with disabilities.
