"People with disabilities are some of the hardest working, most resourceful people I know. It is so very exciting and rewarding to be part of a network of professionals who bring people the choice to live and work in the community and to be in control of their own lives. The Michigan Centers for Independent Living are now partnering with other agencies to identify and transition individuals with disabilities from nursing facilities to community-based living, and this process has been long-awaited."
