Lakewood Area Shelter, 8421 Meadow Rd SW, Lakewood, WA 98499, US

Center for Independence is a federally funded non-profit organization providing assistance for disabled people, most of whom are low income or living in poverty. There are six facilities in Washington state not including a new satellite building in Whatcom County. They are not a residential facility. Locally, CFI mainly serves those living in Lakewood and Tacoma. The biggest issue CFI deals with, according to Trina Forest, executive director, is disabled people lacking accessible, affordable housing. CFI's mission, according to its web site, is to serve as a resource for individuals with disabilities to fully access and participate in the community through outreach, advocacy and independent living skills development. Often times, CFI works to transition citizens out of nursing homes and into a group home.
