The Massachusetts Statewide Independent Living Council (MASILC or “the SILC”) is a Governor-appointed Council whose purpose is to advance disability policy in Massachusetts. The majority of MASILC members are people with disabilities.
MASILC promotes greater access, inclusion, and independence for people with disabilities in Massachusetts.
MASILC works closely with the 10 Centers for Independent Living (CILs) in Massachusetts.
Every state has a SILC. One of the primary responsibilities of the SILC is to develop the SPIL, or State Plan for Independent Living.
Looking for an Independent Living Center?
Navigate to your city or town, and Find-A-Center will identify your Independent Living Center! (There are 10 across MA.)
