Independent Living Centers (ILCs) are community-based organizations that provide support and resources for individuals with disabilities. Their primary goal is to promote independence and enhance the quality of life for people with various disabilities, including physical, sensory, and cognitive impairments. ILCs offer services such as advocacy, peer support, and skills training to help individuals navigate daily challenges.
These centers often collaborate with local agencies and organizations to create accessible environments and improve community awareness. ILCs also provide information on resources like housing, transportation, and employment opportunities, empowering individuals to live more independently and participate fully in society.
