UPDATE – VICTORY! - SUCCESS!
Thank You!!!
Words cannot express the gratitude that we at Lake County Center for Independent Living feel towards those who signed our letter to Governor Quinn in support of restoring our PA Grant. Great news!! We have just received word that the Governor will restore 80% of the PA Grant funds! This is a huge victory for all Centers for Independent Living in Illinois. We could not have had this amazing outcome without your support. Your advocacy truly made an impact. Keep up the good work!
  
 
Lake County Center for Independent Living (LCCIL) is a disability rights organization governed and staffed by a majority of people with disabilities. We offer programs and services that promote a fully accessible society.  We advocate that all persons with disabilities excercise their right to independence. 
 

Our Vision
People with disabilities are involved in every aspect of society and have the freedom and opportunity to control their own lives.

Four Core Services

  • Independent Living
  • Information and Referral
  • Advocacy
  • Peer mentoring

Our Values

  • We support the independent living philosophy

We Believe That:

  • People with disabilities have the right to control all aspects of their lives.
  • Decisions and Services must be determined and driven by the consumer.
  • People with disabilities must comprise a majority of the Board of Directors and staff.  No one can represent disability rights  and independent living  issues with more credibility  than people with disabilities.
  • Society is made stronger through the contribution of all its members.

LCCIL is fully accessible to all people with disabilities, including persons with chemical sensitivities/environmental illness. Please do NOT wear scented products to any meetings, demonstrations, groups or workshops held at or by the center. We appreciate your cooperation. Meetings are wheelchair accessible. Sign Language Interpreters, C.A.R.T. & materials in accessible format are available upon request.
