News from Idaho SILC

Promoting independent living for all idahoans

SPIL(L) IT!

It’s time for a new Idaho State Plan for Independent Living. That’s where YOU come in! Partnering with CIL’s across the state, we will meet and gather information from you about:

>How your community is serving people with disabilities in regard to housing, transportation, healthcare, education, job training, employment, recreation, community access and any other area.

>Helping us determine where to direct resources for people with disabilities to be able to live in their community with the supports they need.

We also want to provide an overview of the duties and responsibilities of CIL’s and core services they provide. And to tell the public about our State Plan for Independent Living.

Meetings have been scheduled now through June in Southeastern Idaho and North Central Idaho. Coming this summer there will be more meetings scheduled in North Idaho and South Central and Southwestern Idaho. All locations are accessible. Materials are provided in accessible formats. You can request language interpretation (ASL, Spanish, etc) or other disability accommodations by calling the SILC at least 10 days in advance at 208-334-3800 or toll free 1-800-487-4866 or email janey.bruesch@silc.idaho.gov
