Center for Disability Rights

The Center for Disability Rights (CDR) is a disability led, not-for-profit corporation. We provide services to people with disabilities and seniors within the framework of an Independent Living Model which promotes independence of people with all types of disabilities, enabling choice in living setting, full access to the community, and control of their life. CDR works for national, state, and local systemic change to advance the rights of people with disabilities by supporting direct action, coalition building, community organizing, policy analysis, litigation, training for advocates, and community education. CDR advocates for the full integration, independence, and civil rights of people with disabilities. Since its inception in 1990, CDR has grown in size and influence with its unique fusion of advocacy and services. CDR's advocacy work has led to many systemic improvements affecting the lives of many thousands of people with disabilities. CDR works in collaboration with the Regional Center for Independent Living and our Licensed Home Care Agency All About You Home Care to ensure people with disabilities and senior can live independently in their own homes with the services and supports they need.
