Personal Choice Independent Living / Choix Personnel Vie Autonome enables people with physical disabilities to direct their own attendant care services in Ottawa — a consumer-directed model that puts the individual in control. With 91.5% program spending and $4.1M in revenue, this bilingual organization embodies the independent living philosophy that people with disabilities are the best experts on their own needs.
Our Verdict: This is a strong independent living organization that channels 91.5% of expenditures into direct attendant care programs, with clean compliance and steady revenue around $4M. The COMP_RATIO_EXTREME flag is entirely expected — consumer-directed attendant care means paying the personal support workers that clients choose and manage, which IS the program. The four-person board is small for an organization of this scale but provides continuity. Donors supporting disability self-determination in Ottawa can give with confidence.
