Independent Living & CARE Loans
CARE Chest provides assistive technology and helps individuals make modifications to their home and vehicle for accessibility and independence.
The Independent Living philosophy says that every person, regardless of disability, has the potential and the right to exercise individual self-determination. Self-Determination refers to a characteristic of a person that leads them to make choices and decisions based on their own preferences and interests, to monitor and regulate their own actions, and to be goal-oriented and self-directing.
CARE Chest also administers a low-cost loan program to fund similar projects. Both programs serve the entire state of Nevada.
