Oregon CILs are community  based, consumer directed, not for profit organizations.  Independent  Living Centers are nonresidential organizations serving individuals of any  age with any disabilities in Oregon. Unique in the world of  human services, CILs are governed and operated by board and staff composed of a majority of people with disabilities. All CILs provide four core services, which include:

  • Information and Referral – one-stop shopping for  information related to disability or services for individuals with  disabilities, families, employers, and the community.
  • Peer Support – staff and trained volunteers provide support, encouragement and guidance for individuals with disabilities.
  • Independent Living Skills Training – assessment  and training to people with disabilities in areas such as money  management, housekeeping, communication, self-advocacy, prevocational  skills and socialization.
  • Individual and Systems Advocacy – consistent with  the philosophy of independent living, individuals with disabilities are  taught to advocate for themselves. In addition, CILs  can engage in activities designed to affect positive change in local,  state, and federal systems affecting individuals with disabilities.
  • Life   Transition Assistance - related to youth leaving secondary  education, or individuals transitioning to or remaining in the least  restrictive living environment.

Accreditation: AOCIL's network of CILs complete state and federal accrditation reviews to ensure compliance with standards and assurances in section 725 (b) and (c) of the Rehabilitation Act.
