Center For Independent Living

The New Jersey Statewide Independent Living Council (NJSILC) is a 17-member body appointed by the Governor, dedicated to maximizing opportunities for individuals with disabilities through planning and advocacy. Comprising a majority of members with disabilities, the Council includes advocates, representatives from private businesses, disability-related organizations, and directors of Centers for Independent Living across the state.

NJSILC plays a crucial role in developing and submitting the State Plan for Independent Living in collaboration with the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation. The Council is also responsible for monitoring the implementation of this plan, coordinating with other state agencies, and ensuring that its meetings are open to the public with adequate notice provided.
