Encouraging and Promoting Self-Reliant Living
Our dream is that every person with a physical disability will have access to affordable, barrier-free living leading to greater independence.
QUAD is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping adults with physical disabilities.
We accomplish our mission by providing a model of affordable housing that is barrier-free and allows individuals with disabilities to live independently. Each facility offers the unique feature of resident-directed shared attendant care services, and our wheelchair-accessible apartments are specially fitted to help residents live life comfortably.

Brenda
“I think one of the things that’s fantastic here at Quad is the staff are respectful, and the conversations are not just about the life of being a Quad but life in general.” - Brenda, Quad Inc. Resident
Our Locations
Our five Portland (Oregon) apartments were designed in collaboration with members of the community with disabled housing in mind, to be a place where people who count on a wheelchair for mobility can enjoy life in a desirable apartment community while taking advantage of services that provide for a highly functional and accessible home living environment. Basically, QUAD communities enable residents to take charge of their lives.
Every QUAD community offers studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom wheelchair-accessible apartments that feature open floor plans, roll-under counters, custom appliances, and roll-in showers. Each community’s common rooms, outdoor living spaces, emergency assistance, and advanced safety systems deliver levels of safety, security, and liveability that independent wheelchair users are rarely offered.
You can help a person with a severe physical disability live independently.
We can’t fulfill QUAD’s mission without your help.
