Welcome to the Center for Living & Working, Inc.
Center for Living & Working (CLW), a non-profit independent living center, began in 1975 in Worcester, Massachusetts.
What is Independent Living?
Most people take it for granted, because for many, independent living is the simple stuff of life: Getting out of bed. Bathing. Walking down the stairs. Driving a car to work. Living independently in your own home.
But life changes and you might find yourself or a loved one in a world where the so-called simple stuff is anything but simple. A world out of reach - access denied.
Thanks to CLW, people with disabilities are not alone. CLW works with each individual to help them achieve the level of independence that's right for them.
CLW encompasses the independent living philosophy which states that individuals with disabilities should have the same civil rights, options, and control over choices in their own lives as do persons without disabilities. CLW’s innovative programs and services support independence as a fundamental factor of the social fabric of society. Since CLW’s inception, the primary mission has remained unchanged, though programs and services have constantly evolved and improved to meet the changing needs of the individuals we serve.
We're committed:
- To listen to consumers and offer encouragement in the quest for independent living.
- To offer information and programs that enable people with disabilities to live as independently as possible.
- To provide services that address the activities of daily life.
- To help ensure that our consumers can participate as fundamental members of the community.
