Hi Friend,

All about CIL.....

Centers for independent living (CILs) are private, nonprofit corporations that provide services to maximize the independence of individuals with disabilities and the accessibility of the communities they live in. Centers
are funded in part by the Department of Education, Rehabilitation
Services Administration, Independent Living Branch, to provide, among other things, several core services:
 

CIL are community operated by people with disabilities

  What one can find a all CIL's is:

-  Advcacy for disability related issue including housing.

- Independent living skills and training

- Info an referrals

- Peer support ( support groups , match up w/other with
disabilities, transportation assistance)

- Coming soon will be core service of helping people transition
from and institution or rehab facility back into society

Pending the CIL's skill sets and resources there is likely to be
other services beyond....... for example how to file housing 
complaints against a land lord that denies housing to some 
one using an assistance dog. 

Note : CIL's do not offer housing, they only serve as an advocate
referring to the best housing solution in the area.
