The idea that persons who are disabled can take charge of their own lives and live independently surprises many people. It even surprises many persons with a disability, but not us! Our mission is assisting persons who are severely disabled to live independently in the community and to encourage necessary change within the community so independent living is a possibility. The Central Virginia Independent Living Center, Inc. (CVILC) was established in February, 1983. It is a community based, non-profit, non-residential program which provides services to persons with a disability, their family and the community. In 2003, we changed our name to Resources for Independent Living (RIL) to better reflect our mission. Resources for Independent Living provides these valuable functions for our community:
The Board of Directors meet the second Thursday of each month at 6:00p.m. at 4009 Fitzhugh Avenue, Suite 100, Richmond, VA 23230.

This project supports Virginia's Olmstead initiative and complements the efforts of the recently awarded Systems Transformation Grant that aims to improve the infrastructure for community-based long-term supports. Virginia's MFP project, administered by the Department of Medical Assistance Services, will make over $28 million in federal Medicaid funds available to support Virginia's seniors and individuals with disabilities.
