Freedom Resource Center for Independent Living, Inc.

🌟 At Freedom Resource Center, our mission is to increase independence for people with disabilities.

We do this through our 5 Core Services:

📌 Information & Referral
Information on any disability-related topic, referrals to appropriate agencies and programs, and assistance in applying for services.

📌 Individual & Systems Advocacy
Individual Advocacy: Empowering people to make choices and have input in all aspects of their lives. Assistance and/or representation in obtaining access to benefits, services, and programs.
Systems Advocacy: Efforts made to implement local, state, and federal policy changes to make facilities, services, and opportunities available and accessible to individuals with disabilities.

📌 Independent Living Skills Training
From budgeting and cooking to transportation and communication, we help individuals build the everyday skills needed to live confidently and fully participate in their communities.

📌 Peer Mentoring
We recruit and train people with disabilities who can foster independence in others by becoming a peer mentor, and match them with individuals who may be experiencing similar situations.

📌 Transition Services
We facilitate the transition of individuals with disabilities from nursing homes and other institutions to home and community-based services. We also assist individuals who are at risk of entering institutions so they can remain in the community, and support youth with disabilities as they transition from school to postsecondary life.

For more information, call us at 701-478-0459 or visit freedomrc.org.

Last week, two of our staff members, Raegan and Merri, traveled to Washington, D.C. to attend the NCIL Conference (National Council on Independent Living), the largest annual gathering of disability rights advocates in the country.



They joined voices from across the nation to advocate for disability rights, connect with leaders in the Independent Living movement, and bring new knowledge back to Freedom Resource Center.



While in D.C., they had the opportunity to meet with Senator Hoeven and Congresswoman Fedorchak in person.



We’re proud to be part of a nationwide community working toward equity, access, and independence for all!
