Centers for Independent Living

Centers for Independent Living (CILs) are community-based organizations that empower people with disabilities to live independently and participate fully in society. They provide services such as peer support, advocacy, skills training, and information to help individuals overcome barriers. CILs also work to influence policies and raise awareness about disability rights. They are run by people with disabilities or those who have experience with disability issues, ensuring that services are relevant and responsive. Overall, CILs aim to promote autonomy, inclusion, and equal opportunities for all individuals with disabilities.
