Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Center for Independent Living a residential facility?
Independent Living refers to a philosophy developed by disability activists, supporting a individual's right to make decisions about their living situation, goals and other issues. We have offices, but are not a residential facility.
Can the AACIL provide me with money?
The Center for Independent Living can direct people to sources of emergency food, clothing, furniture and other staples. There are a few agencies that can provide cash assistance, particularly to prevent eviction from housing or utility cut-offs. We can direct callers to those organizations.
Sometimes we receive donations of medical equipment or other goods, and can pass them on to people who need them. However, we are never able to give people money, no matter how deserving they may be.
Is the Center for Independent Living part of Michigan Rehabilitation Services (MRS)?
No, we are a private non-profit organization. We do accept referrals for services from MRS though.
