Join Us in Advocating for People with Disabilities: 
https://www.myindependentliving.org/advocate/ 

We are united in our commitment to advocating for the rights and inclusion of all people with disabilities, recognizing that disability can touch any one of us at any moment in our lives. Our advocacy efforts are grounded in the principles of the peer services movement, where lived experience is our guiding force, and experts from diverse backgrounds join together to create a more accessible and inclusive society for all.

We remain committed in our mission to break down attitudinal, societal, and systemic barriers that obstruct the independence and full potential of people with disabilities. Together, as advocates, we will create a future that is accessible and inclusive for all, because it is through our shared human experience that we discover the true value of investing in a more equitable and inclusive world.

Independent Living, Inc. is a consumer-directed, cross-disability advocacy and service organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for individuals with disabilities. Our vision is a barrier-free society, with opportunities for all people to achieve their maximum potential. 

Since its inception in 1987, Independent Living, Inc. has remained committed in its mission to enhancing the quality of life for people with disabilities. With a comprehensive range of over 35 programs and services, we provide personalized support that empowers individuals to live independently, exercise control over their care decisions, and maintain their autonomy. Grounded in the principles of the peer services movement, our organization is driven by lived experience, employing experts in their respective fields. We are trusted partners and collaborators, offering guidance and expertise to numerous Hudson Valley organizations in the realm of disability supports and services. We strive to be the bridge that enables individuals, regardless of age or disability, to embrace their full potential and thrive in a fully integrated and barrier-free society.
