The Future is Now

Over a year ago, Becoming Independent launched the most significant privately funded advancement for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the history of the North Bay – creating our new Program Headquarters. This state-of-the-art space offers a post-secondary environment where innovative offerings are developed and experienced. With programs focused on educational goals, employment opportunities, and supported living and housing, we built a campus that now matches the caliber of services and program curriculum BI is known for.

The Program Headquarters is a 24,000sf hub for programs and features a commercial kitchen, an adaptive fitness center, collaborative workspaces, an artist makerspace, and technology that enhance the quality of the services we provide. At the heart of it all is a 10,000sf flexible program space where we will create personalized opportunities to match the needs and desires of each individual we serve.
