The New Mexico Statewide Independent Living Council (NM SILC) wants to hear directly from people who have disabilities, their family members, caregivers and other stakeholders. It should take about 5 minutes, at most, to answer these questions. The survey will remain open.

Survey Goals

• To gain valuable information about what you need so that NM SILC and CILs across the state can work to enhance programs and improve the services they provide now for New Mexicans who have disabilities.
• To give you, as a person or the family member of a person with a disability and/or chronic health condition, information about Centers for Independent Living (CILs), the services they have available and where you can go in your area to get help from a CIL.

Centers for Independent Living

You may or may not know about New Mexico Centers for Independent Living or CILs. There are 5 CILs across New Mexico. Some of these CILs have offices in multiple towns. CILs are non-profit organizations that provide services and support to people with all types of disabilities. They believe that people with disabilities can live, work, and participate fully in their communities and be in charge of their own lives.

Below is also a list of each CIL, the counties they serve and the website or contact for each of the 5 CILs to get more information and to contact them directly.
