SILC - Statewide Independent Living Council
The Statewide Independent Living Council of Illinois (SILC),
formed in 1993, is a not-for-profit statewide planning organization.
The Federal Rehabilitation Act requires each state to create an
autonomous Statewide Independent Living Council to develop a
state plan for independent living services and Centers for
Independent Living. SILC develops the State Plan jointly with the
Illinois Department of Rehabilitation Services in Illinois. SILC
is not a service provider, nor does it fund or monitor services.
SILC is a planning body. For more information, check their website
