Our Mission: Inspired, Empowered, Independent Living!
Creative Living is a non-profit organization that provides affordable, wheelchair-accessible housing for adults with physical disabilities who are driven to further their education, build careers, and actively engage in the community. Our residents are empowered to live self-sufficiently, independently managing their disabilities and leading fulfilling, productive lives.
Creative Living was established within The Ohio State University community, providing individuals with physical disabilities the opportunity to pursue educational and career goals in a vibrant, accessible campus environment. Here, residents enjoy close proximity to essential community resources and healthcare, fostering independence and connection. Creative Living was founded to address a critical, unmet need for community-based housing for adults with physical disabilities whose only alternatives were living with family or being confined to institutional facilities. This need persisst today, as staffing shortages, inaccessible housing, and limited home health coverage continue to challenge those who desire independence along with the security and safety of a stable home.
