Products and Services

As a Centers for Independent Living (CIL) provider operating within Washington state's statewide network, Center For Independence delivers comprehensive services designed to empower individuals with significant disabilities to achieve maximum independence and community integration. Core services funded through this award include peer support and peer counseling, information and referral services, independent living skills training, individual and systems advocacy, and transition assistance for individuals transitioning from institutional to community-based living settings. These services are delivered through a consumer-controlled, community-based nonprofit structure operated by and for individuals with disabilities, consistent with standards established under Section 725 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. The funding supports continuation of the organization's established center operations at prior-year levels as part of the statutory priority allocation framework that prioritizes existing centers' baseline funding before cost-of-living adjustments and new center establishment.
