Access Supports for Living Inc

Access: Supports for Living is a dedicated agency serving the Hudson Valley, committed to supporting families and individuals facing the challenges of disability and mental illness. With over 50 years of experience, the organization has continually evolved to meet the growing needs of the community, offering a wide array of services that impact thousands of lives each week.

Despite its growth, Access: Supports for Living remains focused on individualized care, ensuring that each person is seen, heard, and supported in achieving their fullest potential. The agency emphasizes person-centered support, believing that every individual deserves a voice in shaping their own life goals and should be treated as a partner in the process.

Founded in 1963 by a group of parents determined to foster independence for their children with developmental disabilities, the organization began as a small, skill-building program with local educators and businesses. That same spirit of innovation and advocacy continues to guide its work today.

Now operating across nine counties in New York, Access: Supports for Living serves nearly 10,000 individuals annually with a comprehensive range of behavioral health, developmental disability, and community-based programs. The agency remains deeply committed to promoting independence, health, and happiness for every person it supports, while making a positive and lasting impact in the communities it serves.
