Learn More About Our Mission

Serving twelve western Colorado counties

Center for Independence promotes community solutions and empowers individuals with a disability to live independently.

Our Philosophy

CFI is governed by people with disabilities – nothing about us without us! We work to uphold the Independent Living philosophy: that people with disabilities have the right to live their lives independently, with dignity, and to their fullest potential. CFI provides information to individuals and businesses about the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), accessibility guidelines, and other technical assistance. Our Board of Directors and Staff are comprised of 51% or more people with disabilities, which gives CFI insight in the design and delivery of our services.

2024/2025 Community Input, Needs and Priorities

We are conducting this survey to help us identify the needs of the 12 counties we serve. Our goal is to identify which areas are lacking services or needing to amp up services currently offered, not just from CFI but all agencies across our communities. Let us know how
we can better help you navigate.
