History of the DRC

The Disability Resource Connection (DRC) is a collection of 45+ organizations and agencies that serve people with varying disabilities and life challenges in the State of Arizona. This group’s focus is to discuss barriers to services, identify gaps in resources and services, discuss issues in the community, create partnerships and collaborations between organizations, and share upcoming community events. Through the various organizations of the DRC, the group as a whole provides support, resources, services, advocacy, and connects services to individuals that we serve.
