The project (1968-1973) was undertaken to demonstrate job and earning potential for competitive work of homebound and/or severely disabled persons who otherwise have not benefited from rehabilitation programs as they conventionally exist. In the lifetime of this project, three companies were formed: An non-emergency transportation service for the handicapped, a microfilm service bureau, and a data processing software company. Owned and managed by homebound severly disabled persons, these companies were developing, producing, and distributing goods and services for their community. Established by three young (ages 23-27) wheelchairbound men, the companies employed 47, were in business for 5 years, and were grossing approximately $300,000 during the last year of the project.
