| The
Independent Living Program (IL) is a federal-state initiative
to improve access to community-based and integrated residential services
for individuals with disabilities. Independent Living Centers provide community-based
advocacy and peer counseling, case management, personal assistance and
counseling services, information and referral, independent living skill
development and emergency services.
Independent Living Programs seek to ease the transition from institutional
care to the community, to increase the availability and accessibility of
affordable housing options and to improve access to other services, such
as transportation, that serve to unlock doors to the community.
For more information about Independent Living Centers in your area,
contact the regional office for your state Rehabilitation Services Administration
