About Us
Disability Partnerships
Our Mission and Story

We are a community-based 501c3 nonprofit whose work is based on a partnership model. We collaborate with partners in multiple sectors (nonprofit, government, and private) to develop programs and activities in the focus areas of affordable accessible housing, health and wellness, education and economic empowerment. Our organization believes that persons with physical disabilities can do more than just survive with a disability—they can thrive as people who live with physical disabilities. Through strategic partnerships, conferences and educational events, and with the help of our wonderful volunteers, Disability Partnerships continues to work toward solutions to the social and economic problems that continue to afflict people with disabilities.
