STATEWIDE INDEPENDENT LIVING COUNCIL (SILC) 

PUBLIC INPUT DROP-IN SESSIONS SCHEDULED 

 

The Statewide Independent Living Council (SILC) is in the process of
creating its 2024-2027 State Plan for Independent Living (SPIL). The purpose
of the

SPIL is to describe how the state's network of Independent Living (IL)
programs and services will meet the independent living needs of persons with
disabilities

in the state. The plan must address how federal, state and other funds will
be used within the state to develop and maintain IL programs. 

The key ingredient to this plan is your input! In order to be sure that the
SPIL reflects and properly responds to the needs of NH's citizens with
disabilities,

we need to hear from you about what your goals are, what barriers you face,
and what resources would best meet your needs. 

 

For your convenience the SILC has scheduled the following public "drop-in"
sessions to receive your input about the future SPIL. Please come whenever
you

can within the time window and stay as long as you wish. CART and ASL
Interpretation will be provided. 

 

Inquiries can be made to the NH SILC by email at

Jennifer.I.Beaulieu at gcd.nh.gov 

 

or by phone at 603-271-2773.

What is the SILC? The SILC is a federally mandated (Title VII,
Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1973 as amended) independent, cross
disability council.

The SILC represents the independent living needs of persons with significant
disabilities across the entire state and looks at broad systems issues. The

Council is made up of individuals who believe that individuals living with a
disability should have the opportunity to live independently within their

communities.
