Who We Are
The UILC is non-residential facility that provides services which enhance the independence of people with disabilities.
The UILC was the first independent living center in Utah and have been serving this community (Salt Lake, Summit, and Tooele counties) since April 1982.
We are consumer controlled with a majority of staff and board members being people with disabilities.
Philosophy
The Independent Living Movement has historical roots in the social justice movement, and of other self-empowerment movements in the early 1960s. Control over one's life and choosing for one's self are central themes in the Independent Living Movement. These are the foundation for services available at the Utah Independent Living Center.
Eligibility
A person must have a physical or mental disability which impairs activities of daily living and a reasonable expectation must exist that UILC's services will increase independence.
Our services are provided at no cost. We are funded through State and Federal Grants and private donations.
UILC is a 501(c)3 private, non-profit agency. Financial donations are gladly accepted. Most donations are tax deductible
