Disability Network Capital Area

Disability Network Capital Area saw an increase in the number of consumers and services provided this year. 634 consumers developed and established goals such as housing and relocation, employement, education, self-advocacy, and community participation. Dnca staff provided 23,545 hours of community activities including areas of collaboration and systems advocacy. A major focus of our center this year was connection and collaboration, and we worked with over 75 service agencies to bring new services and increase the number of consumers we served through combined events. We saw an increase in our out-of-county services for the year, and the number of people we reached including 178 people from clinton, eaton, and shiawassee counties. We continued to listen to the needs of our community and created new programming and service options focused on independent living, skill building, peer connection and financial planning.
