CILs are community-based organizations that empower people with disabilities to live independently and integrate fully into society. They offer various support services, resources, and advocacy to help individuals with disabilities lead self-directed lives and make their own choices.

Do programs through LiveAbility cost money?

Centers for Independent Living (CILs) are remarkable community-based organizations dedicated to promoting independence and empowerment for individuals with disabilities. One of the most remarkable aspects of CILs is that they provide their valuable core services and support completely free of charge.

Their commitment to inclusivity ensures that anyone facing challenges due to a disability can find a supportive and empowering environment through CIL services, fostering greater independence and enhancing the quality of life for all.

Will I need a medical history, or proof of my disability to use your services?

At Centers for Independent Living (CILs), accessibility and support are available to individuals with disabilities without the need for any medical proof or documentation. CILs operate on a philosophy of self-determination, recognizing that individuals are best placed to identify their own needs.

By eliminating the need for medical proof, CILs create an empowering environment that respects the autonomy and agency of every individual, fostering an atmosphere of trust and understanding.
