Is there someplace in my community where a person with a disability can find information about housing, employment, self-advocacy, support services, education, vocational rehabilitation, the things I need to know in order to live independently?

 Yes, independent living centers offer a wealth of information that can support your efforts to participate fully in community life. ILCs are run by and for people with disabilities.
