State Plan for Independent Living

Title VII, chapter 1 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (the Act), establishes the State Independent Living Services (SILS) program and the Centers for Independent Living (CIL) program. The purpose of these programs is to:

  • promote the independent living philosophy, based on consumer control, peer support, self-help, self-determination, equal access and individual and systems advocacy;
  • maximize the leadership, empowerment, independence and productivity of individuals with significant disabilities; and
  • promote the integration and full inclusion of individuals with significant disabilities into the mainstream of American society.
To receive federal funding for the SILS and CIL programs, section 704 of the Act requires states to submit a State Plan for Independent Living (SPIL) and obtain RSA approval of a SPIL every three years. The SPIL encompasses the activities planned by the state to achieve its specified independent living objectives and reflects the state's commitment to comply with all applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. In states with a separate agency or unit that administers the SILS program for individuals who are blind, the director of that agency/unit, along with the director of the DSU are required to jointly develop and sign the SPIL and cooperate in its implementation.
