Who We Are
The LightHouse is the largest agency providing direct service, advocacy and information to the blind and visually impaired community of Northern California. Since 1902, we have offered solutions to living with vision loss.
The goal of the LightHouse is to help individuals find solutions that make living independently with vision loss a reality. We are committed to the idea that blindness and self-reliance are not contradictory.
Our main focus within the field of vision loss is on adjustment to that vision loss. Cure and prevention are not always possible. Many individuals must learn ways to continue to live a full and active life with limited sight or complete loss of vision.
The LightHouse provides clients the tools to live a rich life through a menu of rehabilitation programs and access to services – employment, recreation, education, information and the environment.
