Resource - Center for Independent Living of South Florida

There are more than 680 Centers for Independent Living or CILS in the United States. CILS are 501(c)(3) charitable organizations that are community-based, non-residential, not-for-profit, and consumer-driven and managed. This means that most of the people on the boards and staffs of CILS are people with disabilities who have personal experience living with a disability. They know how to overcome the limits imposed by their disability. They will gladly share their knowledge and experience with you because they are, first and foremost, role models for persons with disabilities. This is what CILS are all about. They are places where people with disabilities come to learn from others like themselves what it’s like to be as independent as possible.
