CCRI, Inc

CCRI started in 1977 when a group of families decided their children’s disabilities did not have to condemn them to lives in an institution. Instead, they built a home where their children could thrive and have every opportunity for a beautiful life. Now we're raising money for a new type of home, one that offers both independence and community.

Our Home, Reimagined project which will create a fully accessible, tech-enabled home designed to help people with disabilities live with greater independence, opportunity, and belonging. 

For people like Hannah Papenfuss, whose cerebral palsy affects her physical mobility but not her ability to make her own choices, life can sometimes feel like a complex game of chess. But by building inclusive and accessible environments, she can mitigate a lot of the impacts of her disability.

“It’s about minimizing barriers as much as possible to make my life the one that I choose, not the one my environment or my disability chooses for me,” says Hannah.

The home will feature: 

• Barrier-free living spaces for maximum mobility.
• Voice-controlled assistants, automated doors and smart sensors to promote independence.
• Medication minders and alert pendants to enhance safety.
• Custom support provided by CCRI's IBD team, which will share the other half of the twin home.

We want this home to be a new model for how we support adults with physical and medical needs who are fully capable of directing their own lives, and your donation can help make that possible. Whether you give $10 or $10,000, every dollar matters. Thank you for your generosity!
