The Pennsylvania Statewide Independent Living Council (PA SILC) is a nonprofit, cross-disability, consumer-controlled organization dedicated to securing public policies that ensure civil rights for people with disabilities by supporting the independent living philosophy. 

The PA SILC was established in 1992 to comply with the federal Rehabilitation Act Amendments, which requires states to create a consumer-controlled advisory committee to the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation's Independent Living Program.  In 1992, the federal Rehabilitation Act Amendments gave SILC co-signing authority on the federally-mandated State Plan for Independent Living (SPIL).

The council consists of 22 voting members who are appointed by the Governor. Other members include four ex-officio representatives of the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation, Department of Aging, and Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency. Additional council members are from Centers for Independent Living, advocacy, other consumer or independent living organizations and various state agencies that are impacted by Title VII of The Rehabilitation Act.

As a cross-disability council, a wide range of concerns and experience are represented and the PA SILC strives to focus on issues of importance to all Pennsylvanians with disabilities. The PA SILC holds public meetings quarterly and is supported by a fulltime staff of six employees.
