Support WCICIL
Our Mission
Promote, increase and improve opportunities for independent living and lifestyle for persons with disabilities within the six county service area: Adams, Brown, Hancock, McDonough, Pike, and Schuyler.
Our Philosophy
The Independent Living philosophy is based on the premise that regardless of a person’s disability, all individuals have the right and the responsibility to make life-controlling choices which determine the direction of their own life. That includes full and meaningful social participation as equal members of the community.

Peer Counseling

Independent Living

Transitioning Services
Help move individuals out of nursing homes and other institutions back into apartments and houses in the community.
