Overview
Accord Minnesota helps people living with disabilities or mental health challenges to reach their personal and career goals and live life to the fullest. It offers services that cover housing, skill development, independent living, and community-based job placement, guided by a person-centered approach. The way its products work is through tailored supports and programs delivered by staff to assess needs, create individual plans, and connect clients with housing options, training, daily living skills, and employment opportunities. This makes Accord different from others by emphasizing the voices and needs of the people it serves, using person-centered thinking to design and deliver customized supports. The overall goal is to enable people with disabilities or mental health concerns to live independently, participate in their communities, and pursue meaningful work and life experiences.
