What is the purpose of the SILC?
In cooperation with the state Division of Vocational Rehabilitations and Department of Blind Services (known as “Designated State Units” or DSU’s), the primary purpose of the SILC is to prepare a State Plan for Independent Living (SPIL) which sets goals and benchmarks for the Centers for Independent Living (CILs) and the services they provide. To help guide this “blueprint”, the SILC solicits continual public feedback on the effectiveness of independent living services and the changing needs of the community.
