The Knoxville disABILITY Resource Center (DRC) is a non-for-profit organization run for and BY people with disabilities.

The DRC is a Center for Independent Living (CIL). We are a community-based non-residential program of services designed to assist people with disabilities to gain independence and to assist the community in eliminating barriers to independence.

We work with people who have disabilities to create their own practical plan to achieve independence based on their goals, priorities and needs!

Over fifty-one percent of the Board of Directors and staff at a Center for Independent Living such as the disABILITY Resource Center are people with disabilities.
