40 million of our country’s citizens are disabled with little hope of employment or living self-sufficent lives.

The Uniquely Abled ProjectTM (UAPTM) is a Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) qualified organization that challenges the assumption that people with disabilities are an unemployable, low and moderate income (LMI) segment of society destined to be permanently dependent on government-subsidized benefits to survive.
UAP challenges this assumption. By matching diagnosis-related abilities to skillsets required for high-demand, career path jobs, UAP shifts the labeling of people from “disabled” to “uniquely abled.”
Once this match is made clients can receive training and placement services leading to more independent lives. Without the benefit of these high quality, training programs UAP’s clients would most likely remain among the LMI populations, dependent on public assistance for the rest of their lives.
