3rd Auction & Benefit Dinner

To all who attended and participated at our 3rd Auction & Benefit Dinner. It was a huge success and brought the UILC closer to obtaining the needed funds for our building expansion. We hope to break ground for the new building expansion in August.

IL Philosophy

Independent Living is a rapidly growing consumer movement. Its rapid growth is a function of the great need that exists for services to persons who have a significant disability.

A personal definition of independent living encompasses a person with a disability having the right to choose and have personal control over one’s life including the services they receive.

The Independent Living movement has historical roots in the Civil Rights movement as well as the deinstitutional and other social justice and self-help trends prevalent in the early 1960s.
