Granite State Independent Living

Founded in 1980, Granite State Independent Living (GSIL) is a statewide non-profit organization whose mission is to promote life with independence for people with disabilities and those experiencing the natural process of aging through advocacy, information, education and support.  As a statewide non-profit and New Hampshire’s only Center for Independent Living, we stay close to our roots with a focus on     our 4 core services of education, information, advocacy and support for seniors and people with disabilities.  We are able to speak and think with experience on behalf of the people we serve and support because we are led by a board of directors and staff of which over 51% are people with disabilities.

We carry out our mission through our Home Care Services, Community-Based Disability Supports and Employment Services. With the help of our local New Hampshire communities, we assist people with tools for living life independently, so they can change their lives for the better.
