FACIL Mission

The Florida Association of Centers for Independent Living facilitates collaboration among Centers for Independent Living and other stakeholders, resulting in a unified statewide voice advocating for equal rights for people with disabilities.

What is FACIL?

The Florida Association of Centers for Independent Living (FACIL) is a networking, capacity building, advocacy organization of Centers for Independent Living (CILs). Centers for Independent Living are 501(c)(3), consumer-controlled, community-based, cross-disability, non-residential, private, nonprofit federally mandated agencies.

CILs work to empower persons with disabilities to take charge of their lives and guide their own destinies. In addition, CIL staff, boards and consumers work together to remove barriers and prejudices in society so that all individuals can live and work and enjoy all that their communities have to offer. Fifty-one percent of the staff and boards of CILs are person with disabilities, which means that they play significant roles in the decision-making responsibilities of the Centers.
