Draft SPIL

The State Plan for Independent Living (SPIL), is developed jointly every three years by the Statewide Independent Living Council of Illinois and the Illinois Department of Human Services, Division of Rehabilitation Services. Two public hearings will be held to collect feedback on the draft SPIL. The first in Springfield on April 18th and another on April 23rd in Chicago.
