History of Cerebral Palsy of Utah

 
1985-1996
Cerebral Palsy of Utah/Foundations for Independence (FFI) concentrated on services in regard to independent living and family support. Independent apartments services were developed as well as a statewide services such as Respitality, Family TIES, Information and Referral, Equipment Purchase Assistance, and Legislative collaboration.
1996-1999
With over 8 services statewide, reaching many people in a variety of ways. The goal was to maintain safety standards and quality services expand and increase the assistive technology network, lending library and equipment purchase. People were assisted in their own apartments as FFI expanded the residential programs. More services were offered to families.
2000-2003
After paying rent for inferior office space, FFI purchased a new administration building with mortgage payments substantially less than the previous rent paid. The end result being, great new office space and more money for our programs. Our new office also houses a day program developed this same year. FFI took over the management of our HUD group homes to save costs and provide better services.

On October 31st, 2001, FFI was presented with the prestigious Golden Key Award by the Governors Council.

2007
Cerebral Palsy of Utah disaffiliated from the national entity. Foundations for Independence was created and launched October 31, 2007. Currently we serve 65 individuals with ranging disabilities in our residential program, assisting 60 families in our family services programs, and day training has 25 participants. FFI employs approximately 108 people to carry out the above services.
