Mission: Disability network southwest michigan's mission is to educate and connect people with disabilities to resources while advocating social change. In 1981 a group of people with disabilities founded the kalamazoo center for independent living (kcil). Although the organization was officially incorporated in 1981, the history was born in the disability rights movement of the 1960s and 1970s. Kcil changed its name in 1996 to disability resource center of southwest michigan to better reflect the geographic area we served (at that time, nine counties) and the nature of our services.

The principal sources of revenue are government grants, support from foundations and other contributions. Disability netw
