Disability Advocates of Kent County (DAKC) works to eliminate systemic barriers and enhance programs so that people with disabilities can live the self-directed lives they choose.
DAKC is the largest provider of services for people with disabilities in Kent County, Michigan, serving over 6,000 individuals each year. They provide direct services such as employment training, education assistance, and recreation opportunities.
For the last 27 years, DAKC has operated from an outdated and maze-like office space, which made it difficult for the organization to serve its clients as well as they could have.
