Over 51% of our staff and board members are people with disabilities who lead by example
Partners, not providers: we tailor our services to your personal vision of independence
Free personalized support for people with disabilities, older adults, and the agencies that serve them
You have the right to
thrive in your community
And get access to resources you need
to achieve your personal goals
Even when there are resources available to you, it can be hard to navigate the systems to get access to them.
Where do I start? What numbers do I call? How do I get past the roadblocks that feel put in my way?
At Independent Living Resources, we listen to your goals. Then we empower your own chosen path to independence by helping provide the services, education, and advocacy support to actionably achieve them.
Working for and with you
At ILRSCC, we are not an assisted living or skilled nursing facility. We do not manage caseloads, or follow up with other agencies on your behalf. Rather, we take an active role in helping you succeed in your independent living goals: by empowering your freedom of choice and supporting you through to achievement.

Advocacy
ILRSCC continuously advocates to improve the lives of people with disabilities and older adults: working to address public transportation, fair housing, and widespread policy change
“If you need help navigating disability benefits and most issues regarding your disabilities, the folks working at Independent Living Resources of Solano & Contra Costa Counties are extremely competent and helpful.”
– Holliday C.
Consumer-driven from the
beginning
What does “consumer-driven” mean?
We do not assume to know what is best for you, tell you what you need, or force you to receive services in certain ways.
Instead, we listen. We ask: “what is it you want?” Then our staff (built by over 51% of people with disabilities who live independently) tailor directions of support, referrals, and programming to your priorities.
All in an effort to empower you to make your own choices in how you live your own life with independence.
