As we enter day three of the federal government shutdown, uncertainty continues to affect communities nationwide. At Independent Living, Inc. (ILI), our top priority is the individuals and families who depend on consistent, accessible support.

Our programs and services remain open and active. We are monitoring the situation closely and working with county, state, and federal partners to advocate for the continuation of resources.

We understand shutdowns create anxiety, especially with recent Medicaid cuts and other challenges to safety-net programs. Please be assured that ILI will continue to be a source of stability, advocacy, and hope.

We will provide updates as the situation develops. If you have questions or need assistance navigating our services, please don't hesitate to reach out.

That’s nearly 1 in 3 people in our state who rely on Medicaid for health care, long-term supports, and services that make independence possible. For people with disabilities, Medicaid is more than a safety net, it’s the bridge to community living, employment, therapies, assistive technology, and the dignity of choice.

Cuts or restrictions to Medicaid don’t just impact numbers on a budget line. They threaten real lives, families, and futures across every community in New York.

At ILI, we’re committed to raising our voices and standing with those who depend on Medicaid because health care and independence are human rights. 💙
