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.
