About Disability Resource Center

Disability Resource Center (DRC) is a 501(c)(3) private, non-profit organization that is committed to providing an array of services to assist individuals with disabilities to live independently, pursue meaningful goals, and have the same opportunities and choices as all persons. DRC was established in 1996 to meet the need for a resource and empowerment center for people with disabilities in Northeast Georgia. DRC is linked with a reputable national network of Centers for Independent Living, which has been functioning since 1984 to assist and empower people with disabilities in becoming independent. DRC serves as a resource center for thirteen Northeast Georgia counties and their residents.

 

 

Our Philosophy

DRC is a 501 C-3 private non-profit organization designed to increase independence, access, and equal rights for everyone through the empowerment of people with disabilities. People with disabilities have the right to be independent, make decisions for themselves, have access to their community, and to achieve goals in life like any other individual.

 

 

Our Mission

The mission of DRC is to assist people with disabilities to live more independently and to remove architectural and attitudinal barriers in society that limit independence.
