Independent Living Council

Some states in the United States[1][2][3] have a state-named Independent Living Council. While federal funding exists,[4] each state's funding is allocated by the individual state's legislature. Although they can make recommendations, they have few to no powers regarding privately financed single-family homes.[5] At times state Independent Living Councils are caught in a conflict of interest.[6]

States

  • California State Independent Living Council:[4][5]
  • New Jersey State Independent Living Council:[7][8][9]
  • New York State Independent Living Council:[10] Budget cuts in 2001, along with not spending some funds allocated, made obvious the impact felt by many vulnerable groups.[11]
