Picture a community free of barriers for persons with disabilities, and where independence, diversity and equality are valued by all... That's exactly the vision of Options Center for Idependent Living. The staff at Options seek to insure that all people have the tools and support they need to live a healthy life.

“They had my back… I don’t see them as an organization, I see them as family.”

Meet Ruben, a recipient of one of United Way's 2022-23 Impact Programs.

When Ruben started losing his vision, Options Center for Independent Living was there for him, offering assistive devices and help in finding housing that would support his needs. As their team worked alongside Ruben, they were able to tap into United Way funds to fill gaps along the way in his journey to living independently.
