Independent Living means different things to different people. For those steeped in the Independent Living Movement, it means having control of one's life. Living independently does not mean however, doing everything for one's self, but being in control of decisions made about one's self. This is the foundation from which Centers for Independent Living (CILs) are founded.
A Center for Independent Living is a private, non-residential, community-based, not-for-profit, consumer-controlled organization that is mandated to provide four core services: Advocacy, Peer Support, Independent Living Skills Development and Information and Referral. Staff serve as role models, demonstrating that people with disabilities can be independent and productive. Their knowledge, support and guidance help to create informed choice options that give consumers the confidence to pursue their own independence and to realize their dreams and aspirations.
In contrast to more traditional medical models in which the "client" or "patient" is highly dependent on "experts," a CIL's emphasis is on "consumer" self-direction and control. CILs promote a positive self-image, which is important to developing significant peer relationships.
What truly distinguishes and set CILs apart from other organizations is the fact that consumer control exists on every level, where at least fifty one percent of staff, management staff and the Board of Directors must be persons with disabilities. Having consumer control in decision-making positions is paramount to maintaining the integrity of what a CIL should and must be. The most challenging barrier however, for people with disabilities to overcome is attitude. To gradually dismantle this barrier, CILs advocate for changes in legislation, provide disability awareness-related activities, develop technical assistance initiatives regarding the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and work in a committed fashion to deinstitutionalize people with disabilities who can and want to live independently.
Clearly, CILs are not social service agencies, but agents for social change.
Illinois Network of Centers for Independent Living
Message
Dear Colleague:
On behalf of the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS), Division of Rehabilitation Services (DRS), we are pleased to share the 2013 Annual Report on Independent Living in Illinois. This report is reflective of the active cooperation and support of the Illinois Network of Centers for Independent Living (INCIL) whose numerous programmatic contributions make this year's report a vivid record of what independent living means to Illinoisans with disabilities as well as the Disability Rights Movement.
Illinois' 22 Centers for Independent Living (CILs), in accordance with their mission, provided services to 62,714 Illinois citizens with disabilities in federal fiscal year 2013. These citizens received information and referral as well as direct services in their communities from CIL staff. The majority of staff are persons with disabilities who demonstrate on a daily basis that persons with disabilities can, and do, lead independent and productive lives. Many of their successes are described in this report.
We also commend the Centers for the work on the Community Reintegration Program. Their tireless efforts have increased the quality of life of more than 2,200 individuals and saved the state millions of dollars over the past decade. In 2013, there were 145 individuals reintegrated. In a similar vein, they have shown tremendous leadership in working with DHS regarding the continued work with the Money Follows the Person (MFP) program.
The Statewide Independent Living Council (SILC) was established 20 years ago, in compliance with the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended, and given authority for the planning of independent living services and policy activities. The approved three year State Plan for Independent Living which determines how IL services will be provided in Illinois over three years (FFY'11 thru FFY'13) contains six major goals that are being implemented by INCIL and other community partners under the planning guidance of SILC. Those major goals are: Standardizing CILs' Consumer Satisfaction Surveys, Housing, Transportation, Employment, Access to Communication and Advocacy.
We will continue to work in partnership with INCIL and SILC to explore and implement effective strategies to improve the quality of life for all persons with disabilities in Illinois.
Sincerely,
Michelle R.B. Saddler

Legislative Internship Project for Minorities with Disabilities and Individuals with Disabilities from Rural Communities
The Division of Rehabilitation Services' Independent Living Unit first awarded Legislative Internship grants to CILs to develop this project in FFY 1998. This project provides opportunities for minorities, youth and those living in rural communities who have disabilities to learn about the legislative process. These opportunities enable participants to develop leadership and decision-making skills that enhance their ability to address legislative issues that impact them and their respective communities.
By engaging in and learning the basic components of the legislative process, individuals with disabilities can develop more effective interpersonal and communication skills while becoming more familiar with the process. Ultimately, participants will enhance their ability to self advocate and therefore, increase their potential for growth and independence.
From Institutionalization to Reintegration
More than 10,000 people in Illinois nursing homes have the capability to live independently within the community. For many years, CIL's worked with limited resources to move persons with disabilities out of nursing homes and other institutions back to community based housing. To address this deficiency, the Home Services Program (HSP) developed the Community Reintegration Program (CRP), which now awards grants to all 22 CILs in Illinois. These grants provide centers with the necessary resources to offer the start-up essentials (i.e., first month's rent, furniture, cooking equipment, peer support) to help individuals successfully transition back into the community.
Over the life of the CRP, Centers for Independent Living have increased the quality of life for more than 2,200 individuals and saved the state millions of taxpayer dollars. In 2013, there were 145 individuals successfully reintegrated.
