CCRI, Inc

Imagine you want to buy a home. First you contact a realtor, then connect with a banker, look at houses, and set up a closing date. This is the process in its simplest form.

Now imagine you have a disability. And a home that meets your needs doesn’t exist.

That is the reality in our community. Available homes are bi-level, 3 or 4 level splits, have a basement or 2nd floor, and even most ramblers have steps to get inside, doorways are often too narrow, bathrooms are too small or are inaccessible, and bedrooms not spacious enough to hold equipment like Hoyer lifts or wheelchairs.   

CCRI is not in the realty or home building business. We are in the business of ensuring the people we support can live as independently as possible. And not having a home that meets their needs is a huge barrier to independence. 

As Joel, Buck, Gary, and David’s needs are changing, we have been looking at what options they have. The best option to ensure they are able to safely live in their home throughout their lives is to build them a fully accessible home. 

The home will be on one level, eliminating the risk stairs pose. It will have widened doorways and spacious rooms to accommodate mobility equipment. It will allow the Fabulous Four (Joel, Buck, Gary, and David) to each be able to access all areas of their home. 

Funds raised on Give to the Max Day will go to making this home a reality. Thank you for helping us give the gift of independence to The Fab Four!
