Independent Living
Independent living, is a philosophy and a worldwide movement of individuals with disabilities working for equal opportunities, self-determination, and self-respect.  It stems from the fundamental principle that people with disabilities are entitled to the same civil rights, options and control over choices in their own lives as people without disabilities.
STATE PLAN FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING (SPIL)
We are looking for your input on issues that affect your daily life.
Centers for Independent Living
Centers for Independent Living (CILs) are consumer‑controlled, community‑based, cross‑disability, nonresidential private nonprofit agencies operated by individuals with disabilities, providing an array of independent living services.
Disability Pride PA and the Disability Pride Central PA committee are hosting its inaugural Disability Pride Central PA on Tuesday, October 25, 2022 at Harrisburg’s Capitol Complex. The celebration will include disability advocates, guest speakers, live performances, food trucks, resource tables, and a parade. The overall goal is to promote the pride felt within our community, educate others on what access looks like, and a day where we can come together and celebrate who we are, our accomplishments, and our work for equality.

"The Department of Human Services (DHS) today announced that Pennsylvania has received an estimated $12 million in federal reimbursement funding from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for the Money Follows the Person (MFP) Program to continue to support new and existing activities that meet the criteria for MFP funding. The MFP program allows states to leverage federal dollars to help Medicaid beneficiaries who live in institutions receive services they need in community settings instead. The MFP program provides the state with the financial flexibility to allow services to “follow the person” as older Pennsylvanians or those with a disability transition from an institutional setting back into the community."
