Notice of public forum

NJSILC is in the process of preparing the next 3-year State Plan for Independent Living (SPIL), one of its federally-mandated duties. As part of that process, Council is seeking input from people with disabilities regarding issues that are critical to their living as independently and inclusively as possible in their communities.
Examples of such issues include:
  • public transit and housing accessibility and availability
  • work readiness and employment assistance
  • training and education programs, including special ed student transitioning from school to work   
  • accessibility to community services and activities such as voting, recreation, emergency preparedness

​Families, service providers and other disability/Independent Living stakeholders are invited to give input.
  • Participation can be in person at one or more of the Forums listed below OR can be via written testimony (email or letter) that will be read into the record at one of these sessions.                                                   
  • Please send emails to the SILC Coordinator at meneary@njsilc.org                                                                                  
  • Please send written comments to M.E. Neary c/o PCIL 3635 Quakerbridge Rd. Ste. 40 Hamilton NJ 08619
