Arizona Statewide Independent
Living Council (AZSILC)

The mission of Arizona Statewide Independent Living Council (AZSILC), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, is to facilitate systemic changes that promote equity, inclusion, and choice for people who have disabilities. This is done strategically and collaboratively by intentionally working to strengthen and enhance the delivery of Independent Living programs, services, and concepts across Arizona, through gathering public input, and by cultivating relationships and partnerships to maximize outcomes.

AZSILC promotes resources, opportunities, and experiences which empower people who have disabilities to live independently and does not provide services to individuals.

Arizona Statewide Independent Living Council (AZSILC) is one of 56 Statewide Independent Living Councils (SILCs), which are federally mandated under the Rehabilitation Act. There is one SILC in each state and US territory. AZSILC members are appointed by the Governor, and the Council is comprised of Arizonans who have diverse disabilities, as well as advocates for people who have disabilities from across the state.

The Council participates in developing, monitoring, and reviewing the triennial State Plan for Independent Living (SPIL), which is implemented by the AZSILC administrative team, in collaboration with the five Centers for Independent Living (CILs) in Arizona.
