Who are we and
what do we do?
Access To Independence of San Diego, Inc. is a center for independent living, serving the county of San Diego, Imperial, and Honolulu. Each branch offers core services that include transition, diversion, peer support, personal assistance, advocacy, and information and referral. In addition to these services, each branch offers unique programs based on the local needs of the community we serve. All of our services are free of charge to all people with a disability regardless of type of disability or age. Access to independence is committed to community integration and advocate on systemic issues in order to create barrier-free communities.
When you donate to Access To Independence, you help further our mission and inspire others to do the same! We have diverse campaigns and programs that we are accepting fundraising for. We would love to tell you more!
Our desire is to continue to remove obstacles and create possibilities that had previously been unavailable. As we celebrate the 40+ year journey of Access to Independence, we pause to reflect on how far we have come and look forward to our continued journey to create new possibilities for people living with disabilities.
Service Animals are welcome here!
