Connections for Independent Living

Connections for Independent Living Challenge Barriers. Build Independence. When you support our work, you are supporting more than an organization.

We help people with all types of disabilities in northeastern Colorado develop the skills they need to live independently. Centers for Independent Living were created to be run by and for people with disabilities, and offer support, advocacy, and information on empowerment in the attainment of independence from a peer viewpoint, a perspective that was hitherto excluded from participation in the discussion and execution of “services for the disabled.”

If you or someone you know, are in need of services please contact our office to be connected with an Independent Living Specialist. You are lending a hand to your neighbors and community members, from the veteran with PTSD to the mother whose son has cerebral palsy. You can take action now by:
Making a one time donation
Including us in your planned giving or estate plan
Contributing to our annual fundraiser
Donating office supplies or equipment
Donating your time and skills as a volunteer

Since becoming a certified Benefits Enrollment Center, Connections has been helping older adults with low income and younger adults with disabilities find and sign up for programs that can give them financial help and support. Made possible with funding by National Council on Aging, the focus of this grant is to enhance access to benefits for qualifying low-income Medicare beneficiaries through a Benefits Enrollment Center (BEC) approach. Some of the programs or benefits include Medicare Part D Extra Help/Low-Income Subsidy, Medicare Savings Programs, Medicaid (Health First Colorado), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly Food Stamps), and Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LEAP). Other programs may be available to you in your area! Visit https://connections4il.benefitscheckup.org to find and apply for benefits. If this seems overwhelming, Connections has certified benefits enrollment counselors available to help you navigate the website and learn about other benefits.
