What is Independent Living?

It means people with disabilities have the right to make their own choices, live in the community of their choice, and receive the supports they choose — not what is decided for them.

Independent Living is about control, access, and dignity.

Empowering Independence. Improving Lives.

As a hub for independent living services and disability resources, RICV provides a foundation of core consumer-controlled, community-based, cross-disability and person-focused programs and assistance. Established in 1976 to empower the independence and improve the lives of people with disabilities in Fresno, Kings, Madera, Merced, and Tulare Counties, RICV offers the guidance and tools to assist persons with disabilities in achieving their own vision of what independence means for them.

Our programs and services offer expanded choices, opportunities and options--empowering persons with disabilities to live independently and be in control of their lives. RICV helps people get the skills necessary to become self-advocates so they can enjoy life and work in their community.

With a strong base of education, leadership and community partnerships, we advocate for inclusive communities where people with disabilities are valued equally and can participate fully.

Visit our website, www.ricv.org for more specific information on our programs and services, connect with our team, explore resources, and support our efforts.
