Public Forum on Independent Living

The South Carolina Statewide Independent Living Council (SCSILC) is inviting the public to an open forum. This forum is an opportunity for the community at-large, and especially South Carolinians with disabilities, to provide input about specific needs and services. Information gathered at this forum will help in developing the State Plan for Independent Living (SPIL) for 2013 to 2016.
