Overview
Centers for Independent Living (CIL) promote the self-reliance of individuals with disabilities through education, advocacy, training and support.
The core services provided by all CILs are: individual and systems advocacy, information and referral services, peer counseling, independent living skills, and deinstitutionalization.
