Encouraging and Promoting Self-Reliant Living

Our dream is that every person with a severe physical disability will have access to affordable, barrier-free living leading to greater independence.

QUAD is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping physically disabled adults.

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.

Resident Success Stories

Tony Griggs

Tony was born nearly 8 weeks early in 1988. Most likely as a result of his premature birth, Tony has Cerebral Palsy (CP).

Dr. Ryan Skelton

Ryan Skelton, Ph.D. constantly considers his relationships to people, things and ideas in the world around him, and he wonders what is true — and not true— about the scope of his abilities.

Lynn

I moved into a QUAD Inc. apartment because I experienced very inconsistent care when I lived in my own home, never knowing whether my caregivers would show up or not.

Roland and Ruth

We’ve realized that we really are our own advocates in this system of care. If we want things done differently, we just need to take the time to explain exactly how we want them done. It’s our household and with this type of care, we can be in charge.

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.
