Fostering Hope. Integrating Services.
For 85 years, the Centers for Independence has strengthened communities by fostering hope and helping people advance their total health. CFI’s unmatched breadth of disability support services and resources through its affiliates – the Milwaukee Center for Independence, Home Care, First Person Care Consultants and iLIFE -- allows others to find value in themselves and see a path forward.

CFI releases annual agency, D&I impact reports
Each year, Centers for Independence takes a moment to reflect on accomplishments and to look forward with hope. The work highlighted in the CFI Impact Report and the Diversity and Inclusion Impact Report would not be possible without the dedicated staff of CFI, our committed sponsors, and our generous and stalwart donors.
CFI’s Urban Farm Helps Workers Grow
More than 70 people within the program participate in horticulture therapy at the CFI Hoop Houses. They are tasked with planting, nurturing, harvesting and selling more than 1,000 pounds of fresh produce throughout the summer.
In the process, they also build their resumes while gaining confidence and new skills, making friends and finding purpose in providing accessible, healthy foods to their communities.
