Welcome to Access Living

Serving Chicago since 1980, Access Living is a nonresidential Center for Independent Living for people with all types of disabilities. Access Living programs and services promote the empowerment, independence and inclusion of people with all types of disabilities in every aspect of community life.

Something New At Access Living

For Access Living, 2010 is a very important, significant and exciting year. While we are celebrating landmark milestones in the 20th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the 30th Anniversary of Access Living, we have also implemented tremendous internal changes. Access Living is excited to announce an organizational restructure that will help us function effectively, better serve the growing needs of our consumers and better focus on important issues affecting the disabled community.
