Overview
Mission
The association provides programs in three interlocking areas: public policy and system change, technical assistance and membership programs to strengthen independent living centers throughout Illinois, and public education about independent living and services and support needed by people with disabilities to live in the community.
What it reported doing in 2024
To promote, through the independent living movement, equal opportunities. Education to promote equal opportunities, empowerment, and civil rights for all persons with disabilities within the state of Illinois. We provide funding, training, and technical assistance to a network of independent living organizations. The personal assistant training program recruits and trains persons in the community who are intersted in assisting individuals with areas of daily living. A home services program (hsp) is established to provide curriculum for the personal assistants. A statewide protocol is established to address consistent practice regarding the distribution of provider referral lists to hsp customers.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
