Centers for Independent Living, often referred to as "CILs" are non-residential places of action and coalition, where persons with disabilities are empowered and develop the skills necessary to make lifestyle choices. Centers provide services and advocacy to promote the leadership, independence and productivity of people with disabilities. Centers work with both individuals and with the local communities to remove barriers to independence and ensure the equality of persons with disabilities.

Services to the community include disability awareness, technical assistance regarding accessibility and legal issues and general disability information.
