Removing barriers and empowering independent living for all people with disabilities.

About us

empower: abilities (formerly Southwest Center for Independent Living) As a nationally recognized Center for Independent Living we follow the philosophy of consumer choice and control. The majority of our leadership team, staff and governing board are people with disabilities. Empower: abilities offers services that empower people with disabilities to live independently in the community. In addition to the work we do providing direct services and programs to people with disabilities, we also work in the community to expand access to affordable housing, accessible transportation, improve access to healthcare and increase employment opportunities. Through our work in the community, we will become more diverse and inclusive; making our community stronger.
