What Liberty Resources Inc does

Liberty Resources Inc. is a Pennsylvania-incorporated 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1980 and headquartered at 112 N 8th Street in Philadelphia. The organization operates as the designated Center for Independent Living (CIL) for Philadelphia, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery Counties, providing community-based disability services to individuals with disabilities across Southeastern Pennsylvania. With 173 employees and a consumer-controlled governance model in which more than 51% of staff and board members have disabilities, Liberty Resources delivers six federally mandated core services — Nursing Home Transition, Youth Transition, Advocacy, Independent Living Skills Training, Peer Support, and Information and Referral — supplemented by Housing Counseling and the Retreads assistive-technology refurbishment program. The organization reports supporting 3,200+ individuals annually and facilitating 1,000+ transitions out of nursing homes back into community living.

The underlying operating model is human-services delivery, not a technology platform. No proprietary software, API, or app is disclosed; service delivery is in-person at the Philadelphia office and via community-based outreach across four counties. The go-to-market motion is community-led, driven by referrals from a network of 24+ named partner organizations spanning healthcare systems (UPMC, Easterseals Southeastern PA, PA Health and Wellness), government agencies (PA Human Relations Commission, PA Link, Philadelphia Corporation for Aging), and national/state advocacy groups (AAPD, ADAPT, Project HOME, Community Legal Services). Marketing channels include a website (libertyresources.org), email newsletter, and active social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

Liberty Resources' revenue model is donation-based and grant-funded rather than commercial. As a 501(c)(3), the organization relies on charitable contributions from individuals, corporations, and foundations, with suggested donation tiers tied to advocacy hours ($100), skills training workshops ($250), and sustained advocacy ($500). Services are provided at no cost to eligible individuals. No revenue figure, funding round, or audited financial statement is publicly disclosed. The organization operates without a parent company or venture backing and is governed by a board chaired by Sarita Kimble. The addressable market is sizable: 18% of Philadelphia residents and roughly 1 in 4 adult Americans identify as disabled, with nearly 500,000 people with disabilities across the four counties served.
