Celebrating 19 Years

Independence Northwest was founded by a small group of engaged community members in 2006. Today, we provide case management and community connections to nearly 600 Oregonians with developmental disabilities across Multnomah, Clackamas, and Washington counties.

Our mission is to support people with developmental disabilities to access resources necessary to ensure equality, respect, independence, and complete ownership over their lives.
