What Are Independent Living
Centers?
Independent Living Centers are:
- Consumer Controlled: Centers are
run by a Board of Directors, more than half of whom are people with
disabilities.
- Community Based: Centers are
located in local communities.
- Available to All People with
Disabilities: Staff, Board members, volunteers, and people served
represent a broad cross-section of disabilities.
- Non-Residential: Centers are not
places to live, nor do they own or operate places for people with disabilities
to live.
- Non-Profit: Centers are approved
for non-profit status.
