Independent Living Centers

Independent Living Centers (ILCs) are community-based organizations that support people with disabilities in living independently and participating fully in society. They provide services like advocacy, peer support, skill-building, and access to resources to help individuals manage daily life. ILCs promote self-determination, helping people remove barriers and achieve their personal goals. They empower individuals to make choices about their care and living arrangements, fostering independence while ensuring necessary support is available when needed. Essentially, ILCs serve as a bridge between individuals with disabilities and the services or accommodations they need to live meaningful, autonomous lives.
