When Erie Independence House opened its doors in 1979, it was the first program of its kind in the United States. A private, non-profit community-based program, EIH was created with one objective in mind: to provide people who have disabilities with the skills and support to lead productive, independent lives. Today, although EIH has grown and changed in many ways, its commitment to the independence and advancement of those with disabilities remains unchanged.
Among those utilizing EIH programs are people with spinal cord injuries, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy and stroke, as well as those with sensory and orthopedic disabilities.
