United 874K Coalition
More than 874,000 Kentuckians -- 23% of the state's population -- are living with a disability. The United 874K Coalition is dedicated to educating policymakers and the public with the goal of assuring these Kentuckians that their needs for services and supports are met. More than 100 organizations have joined the Coalition, including individuals with disabilities, their families, advocates, providers, faith communities and civic organizations.

The 874K Vision
Our vision is of communities across Kentucky where:

barriers to services are eliminated, whether they be physical, regulatory, financial or attitudinal;
the individual and his or her circle of support are informed so that they can exercise their freedom to make choices;
individuals are able to gain and maintain employment and have the opportunity to become tax payers;
all citizens are secure and protected in their communities;
all persons, including educational, medical and judicial systems personnel, are educated about disabilities; and
there is increased awareness of disabilities and reduction of the stigma often associated with them.
