Statewide Independent Living Council of Hawai'i is made up of
representatives from around the State, appointed by the Governor. The
majority of our Council is represented by persons with disabilities. It is
a not for profit, non-Governmental, consumer controlled organization, which
develops, monitors and evaluates the federally-funded State Plan for
Independent Living in the State of Hawai'i. It promotes the independent
living philosophy statewide and provides support and technical assistance to
the Independent Living Center in Hawai'i, which consists currently of five
community based organizations run by and for people with disabilities.
