Accomplishments

CFL provides living supports to over 90 significantly disabled adults who live in their own home throughout Solano County.

Since 2018 Mobility Connections has offered bus training support to over 3360 Solano residents.

We offer paid employment to approximately 130 people, most of whom are Direct Support Professionals, working hands on with our people in their homes and their communities.

CFL continues to grow, offering new opportunities and supports to Solano residents that are adults with significant disabilities who have previously lived in institutions and other group environments, never thinking that they would get to have a home of their own.  

Along with offering Living Supports to the most vulnerable people over the last 18 years, CFL is in the planning stages to expand our services with vocational training and employment opportunities, with employers in our communities.

Funding Goals

• updated emergency backpacks, fire extinguishers, first aid supplies for each home
• emergency kits, fire extinguishers, first aid kits for each employee’s car
