Serving twelve western Colorado counties
Empowering Individuals with Disabilities since 1982
Center for Independence promotes community solutions and empowers individuals with a disability to live independently.
CFI is governed by people with disabilities
Nothing about us without us!
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.
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 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.
