Consumer Assistance Program Application



Assisting Individuals with Disabilities and Their Families

SOCIL believes that people with disabilities have the right to choices and opportunities in society that support and maximize their empowerment, inclusion, leadership, independence, and full participation in community life. Centers for Independent Living are unique in that we serve the consumers of our community specifically related to their needs. To that end, through our consumer assistance program SOCIL is considering requests to secure technology devices or software, PPE, or transportation assistance. SOCIL will approve the applications based on need and available resources. Applicants will be required to submit all requested documentation. Incomplete applications will not be considered, no exceptions.


 

"Per the Americans with Disabilities Act, qualified individuals must have a disability or be the care-giver of a person with a disability which impacts a major life area. The condition must be permanent. If the condition is in remission it must impact a major life area when active. Those with a history of drug use must be in recovery to qualify and that history of drug use must currently impact a major life area."
