Participants

MRC serves individuals with disabilities or other barriers that include physical, visual, hearing, mental health, chemical health, or any other disability group focusing on indiviudals who are able to work competitively. MRC also works with immigrants and refugees and people with limited income or transitioning from public assistance to self-sufficiency. Fees are attached to each service an individual participates in or the service is part of a grant and costs for those services are covered by grant funds.

MRC consumers are referred for services by a “referral source” or someone who will ensure payment is made for services received. In the case of grant-funded projects or programs, individuals may be referred or may self-refer for those services if they meet the project or program entrance criteria. It is also an option for an individual to self-pay for MRC services.
