Hi:
Centers
for independent living (CILs) are private,
nonprofit corporations that are in large part run by people with
disabilities for People with disabilities for people with
disabilities.
CIL's provide services to help you maximize your independence, and help
with accessibility to your community and in my opinion are one of the
best resources to help you maximize your disabled life.
Centers
are
funded in part by the Department of Education, Rehabilitation
Services Administration, Independent Living Branch,
to provide, among other things, several core services that for the most
part are FREE:
These are some of the core services you will find at your local CIL:
Advocacy for disability related issue including housing.
Note
: CIL's do not offer housing, they only serve as an advocate
referring
to the best housing solution in the area.
Independent living skills and training,
Information and referrals to
valuable services in your area,
Peer support (support groups, match up w/other with
disabilities, transportation assistance)
helping you transition to and from an institution or rehab
facility back into society,
 
And Sometimes more ... Depending on your local CIL you may also find,
Legal Aid services, Access to treatment options, Grant writing
assistance
Pending the CIL's skill sets and resources there is likely to be
other services beyond this.
CIL'
exist in every nook and cranny of the USA ... as a matter of fact I live
in a small town of just 3200 people and there is a center not far from
me so its likely there is one in your back yard,
Last ... Keep in mind when working with CIL's that they are like most
government agencies that are understaffed and overworked so my word of
advise is to be polite and persistent ...the squeaky wheel usually get
the Grease ...
