It’s in our DNA.
Community Resources for Independence (CRI) is a community based, non-residential, non-profit corporation that connects community resources for independent living to individuals with disabilities in order to maximize their independence and the accessibility of the communities in which they live. CRI is one of more than 500 federally funded Centers for Independent Living across the nation established by people with disabilities for people with disabilities.
Elevating your Quality of Life
Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities
Restore your independence in your home and community with a helping hand for daily activities, instruction, opportunities, and more.
Veterans
Many veterans struggle to maintain their independence due to disabilities. We can help you stay in your home as long as possible because you are more than deserving of independence and dignity.
Elderly and Aging
The goal of staying in your home may feel out of reach. Our highly trained staff can assist you in your daily living activities to help you stay where you feel most comfortable – your home.
What Does Living with an Intellectual Disability Mean?
Living with an intellectual disability presents unique opportunities for growth in learning, problem-solving, and daily living skills. With the right support, individuals with intellectual disabilities can excel in communication, social interaction, and performing everyday tasks, leading fulfilling, independent lives.
At CRI, we’re committed to empowering individuals to reach their full potential. Our Direct Support Professionals help clients develop essential skills, fostering inclusion, confidence, and active participation in their communities. Join us and become part of a team that makes a positive impact every day.
