Learn more about ADA Concierge ServicesDisability Network Lakeshore is a Center for Independent Living, a nonprofit run by and for people with disabilities. A majority of our board and staff live with disabilities themselves, so the support we offer is grounded in real, everyday experience.
Centers for Independent Living are built on a simple belief: people with disabilities are the experts on their own lives. We do not decide what is best for you. We listen, share what we know, and help you reach the goals you set for yourself, so you can live independently and take part fully in your community.
We welcome people of all ages with any kind of disability, along with their families and caregivers. You do not need a diagnosis, a referral, or paperwork to reach out, and individual services are always free.

From Our Blog
September is National Preparedness Month, a yearly reminder that emergencies don't wait for a convenient time. Here on the Lakeshore, we know what west Michigan weather can do: ice storms that knock out power for days, summer thunderstorms, flooding, and lake-effect snow that closes roads fast.
Reach out to us. We are here to listen and help you find the right resources.
