Connecting people with resources. Strengthening our community!

Last week, DRS staff members Kate and Al represented Disabled Resource Services, Inc. at the 2026 Project Homeless Connect event in Fort Collins!

Hosted by Homeward Alliance, this annual event brings together local organizations and service providers to connect individuals and families experiencing homelessness or housing instability with essential services, resources, and support.

For people with disabilities, barriers to accessible housing, transportation, and other basic needs can make achieving stability even more challenging. Events like this help bridge those gaps by bringing resources together in one place.

Thank you to Homeward Alliance for organizing this important community event and to Kate and Al for representing DRS!

Lisa and Kate joined community partners from across Northern Colorado at last week’s 2026 NoCo Continuum of Care Partner Convening!

The NoCo CoC brings organizations across Larimer and Weld counties together to coordinate resources, housing initiatives, and regional strategies to address homelessness.

For DRS, being part of these conversations matters. People with disabilities can face significant barriers to finding and maintaining stable, accessible housing, and collaboration across our community helps connect people with the resources and support they need.

Thanks to Lisa and Kate for representing DRS and helping strengthen the partnerships that make this work possible!

It’s National Mad Hatter Day, so naturally we’re putting our hats back on for one more Tea Party update! 🎩

Last month, our Mad Hatter Tea Party brought our community together for an afternoon at the McCreery House, all while supporting the work of Disabled Resource Services, Inc.

Thanks to our guests, sponsors, donors, and community partners, and last but not least our wonderful staff!

Those dollars help DRS continue providing services at no cost to people with disabilities throughout Larimer and Jackson Counties, supporting greater independence, choice, and inclusion in our community.

Now THAT is something worth celebrating on National Mad Hatter Day.

At DRS, we don’t decide what someone “should” be working toward.
You set the goal.
Our team helps you identify barriers, explore options, build skills, connect with resources, and advocate for what you need.
Because independent living isn’t about doing everything on your own. It’s about having choice and control over your own life.

Today is International W***y Wonka Day, and DRS has a Golden Ticket worth sharing. 🎟️

From housing and benefits assistance to independent living skills, assistive technology, advocacy, information and referrals, and more, DRS is here to help you work toward the goals that matter to you.

And unlike W***y Wonka’s Golden Ticket, this one isn’t hard to find. DRS services are provided at no cost to people with disabilities in Larimer and Jackson Counties.

No chocolate bar required. 🍫

Thank you!

Everything we do at Disabled Resource Services starts with our mission.
“Disabled Resource Services empowers individuals of all ages and abilities to achieve maximum independence, promoting dignity, confidence, and full inclusion into the community.”
Everyone’s goals look different. Our role is to provide the resources, support, advocacy, and tools to help people with disabilities pursue the independence they define for themselves.
And because access matters, DRS services are provided at no cost to people with disabilities.
