Join an Upcoming Community Conversation for People with Disabilities!

The North Carolina Statewide Independent Living Council (NCSILC) and NC Centers for Independent Living want to hear directly from people with disabilities across North Carolina. Join one of the upcoming Community Conversations and tell us: What is working well in your community? What challenges do you face? What needs to change? What would help you live more independently? What you share will help shape North Carolina’s next State Plan for Independent Living (SPIL). The SPIL helps guide statewide work on issues important to people with disabilities, including housing, transportation, employment, community supports, accessibility, and more.
