CORD: Cape Organization for Rights of the Disabled


The Cape Organization for Rights of the Disabled (CORD) has been aggressively working since 1984 to advance the independence, productivity, and integration of people with disabilities into mainstream society.

The organization provides individual independent living services to over 2,500 people each year, of all ages and disabilities, and has led many successful grassroots campaigns to improve housing, health care, special education, transportation, communication access, and architectural accessibility for people with disabilities on Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket and across Massachusetts. First and foremost, CORD considers itself a civil rights organization for people with disabilities.

CORD's programs include Information and Referral, Independent Living Skills Training, Peer Support and Advocacy. You can contact CORD at the following address.
