LICIL's Home |
| The Long Island Center for Independent Living (LICIL) is a not-for-profit, non-residential counseling and advocacy center controlled by and serving persons with disabilities. Since its inception, LICIL has served thousands of Long Island disabled residents and their families. It has also been a unique resource for professionals who provide disability related services. Our Center's mission is to promote empowerment through education, information and rallying behind issues that directly impact the daily lives of persons with disabilities. LICIL effectively serves all ages and disabilities, the newly disabled and those with life long disabilities. Serving Nassau County residents since 1980, the Center was originally established by a consortium of three local colleges-State University of New York at Farmingdale, Hofstra University and Nassau Community College. Initially housed at Hofstra University, it was relocated to its Levittown facility and established itself as a free standing agency in 1982 and received its tax-exempt status in 1984. One of 34 Independent Living Centers operating in New York State, LICIL is governed by a board of directors, which includes a minimum of 51 percent of persons with disabilities. The Center's day-to-day services are provided primarily by professional staff members who are disabled themselves. |
