The Future is Now

Becoming Independent has launched the most significant advancement for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the history of the North Bay by redeveloping and transforming our aging industrial building into our new Program Headquarters – 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 are building a campus that matches the caliber of services and program curriculum BI is known for.

The Program Headquarters will be a 24,000sf hub for programs and features a commercial kitchen, an adaptive fitness center, collaborative workspaces, an artist makerspace, and sensory rooms 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.

We invite you to join us on this journey and look forward to sharing more about the vision of our new Program Headquarters and discovering ways for you to be involved.
