Independent Living Services

ILS is a service provided through the Regional Center for clients who are interested in living on their own in the community. Clients will be paired with an ILS facilitator who will meet with the client weekly to work on goals and objectives. The training is repetitive and customized according to the client's specific goals and needs. Independence is a journey and every journey begins with a first step.
