All of our services are provided with the independent living philosophy as their foundation. For a complete description of the philosophy, click here.
Accessible, affordable housing is at a crisis low throughout the state; the tri-counties region is no different and in some ways worse, possibly because some residents have a NIMBY (“not in my backyard”) attitude. ILRC provides support so consumers can live where they’d like to live, to the fullest and most feasible extent possible.
ILRC can help consumers…
- apply for low-income housing or vouchers for government housing
- look for accessible, affordable housing for rent or sale
- explore alternative solutions, such as shared living (for example, finding a roommate or becoming a live-in
companion in exchange for room and board)
- work out problems that jeopardize existing housing (that is, landlord resolutions)
- find referrals for affordable home maintenance
- implement temporary or permanent modifications to make a home more usable, such as widening doorways, adding ramps, lowering counters, and remodeling bathrooms with grab bars, roll-in shower, etc.
