Overview

Mission

Cbcil's mission is to assist people with disabilities to achieve their goals. Cbcil provides five core services of advocacy, independent living, peer counseling, information and referral, and transition services. An array of programs, services, and resources are provided to assist persons with disabilities in increasing their options for community living and, ultimately, their independence.

What it reported doing in 2024

Community services - number of consumers served 1,861. Assistance is provided to individuals with disabilities to connect with community-based living opportunities, reduce institutionalization based on consumer choice, and empower individuals to make decisions regarding the direction of their lives. The choices are often contingent upon the availability of existing resources, services, and supports that can be identified to access and sustain community living. Examples include, but are not limited to, personal assistance or respite within their home setting, education, community engagement, interaction with family and peers, and social activities. Cbcil staff provides access to information and referral to health and social services, affordable housing, obtaining food or financial assistance with rent, utility bills, medications, and transportation. Assistance is provided in coastal bend communities to help individuals and households, including those with low income, navigate the healthcare insurance marketplace and participate in community outreach events, one-on-one navigation, and enrollment services. Cbcil serves individuals with disabilities of all ages, all types of disabilities, and culturally diverse populations. Assistance is provided to identify and acquire durable medical equipment and assistive technology support, with may include hearing AIDS, prosthetics, lift recliners, and vehicle modifications, based on individual need to achieve or maintain independent living in the community setting of their choice.
