ILA Directory
To display unbiased information about independent livings in Santa Clara County. All homes listed on the Directory are ILA members.
Independent livings are privately-owned or operated homes or complexes that provide shared housing for adults with disabilities, including mental illness, and others who may benefit from a shared living environment. Tenants in independent livings are able to live independently, are often on a fixed income, and do not need supervision or care from their landlord.
The Independent Living Empowerment Project (ILEP), under the Independent Living Association (ILA), is a collaborative community-wide effort focused on supporting independent living operators, tenants and the community by promoting high quality independent livings.
The ILA is a resource to turn to for objective, unbiased information about independent livings in Santa Clara County.
The Santa Clara ILEP concluded on March 31, 2024. Homes posted to this page met quality standards prior to that date, but membership is no longer being updated and homes have not been viewed by ILA staff after that point.
