PETITION: Restore $3 Million in the NJ Budget for Centers for Independent Living!

Centers for Independent Living (CILs) are community-based, nonprofit organizations that serve individuals of all ages and all disabilities across New Jersey. Unlike many providers, the 12 CILs in NJ are cross-disability and lifespan-based, meeting people where they are and supporting them at every stage of life.

The proposed elimination of the $3 million state budget line item threatens:
- Access to critical, community-based supports
- Independence for people with disabilities
- Stability of services across New Jersey

At the same time, federal funding through the Administration for Community Living is uncertain, increasing the urgency for state investment.

In a state budget of billions, $3 million is a small investment, but without it, the cost to people with disabilities and their families is immeasurable.

Please help us by sharing this and signing our petition at the link below!
