What are independent living centers, and how can they help me?
Independent living centers, sometimes called CILs or ILCs, are the second place you should look when exploring disability resources in your town. The role of independent living centers in the United States is to work for the full participation and independence of people with disabilities in US society through advocacy and support services. An example is learning a bus route or finding housing. Independent living centers will have information about local disability-related services and activities, and are a good place to start when exploring your new home.
