Disability Community Resource Center - DCRC

Disability Community Resource Center - DCRC The Disability Community Resource Center is a non-residential center dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for people with all kinds of disabilities.

The Disability Community Resource Center (DCRC) is a Center for Independent Living dedicated to supporting the equality of life for people with all kinds of disabilities. The goal of our peer-led programs and services is the elimination of economic, social, attitudinal and environmental barriers people with disabilities face in their daily lives. Independent living for persons with disabilities means achieving self-determination, the least restricted style of living, and the fullest possible participation in community life. This includes access to the same opportunities and resources that are available to people without disabilities. The Disability Community Resource Center was established to facilitate independent living for people with disabilities through a variety of non-residential programs and services by:

increasing the individual’s ability to deal effectively with environmental, social, economic, and attitudinal barriers, through education, access to information, and advocacy;
supporting and providing services conducted predominantly by peers;
recruiting persons with disabilities for staff positions that offer various levels of career training, experience, and growth;
supporting the formation and activities of both formal and informal groups in the disability community dealing with disability issues;
assisting people with and without disabilities in promoting public policies to eliminate obstacles and discrimination against people with disabilities through issue based advocacy and education.
