Silicon Valley Independent Living Center

Silicon Valley Independent Living Center (SVILC) is a nonprofit, non-residential disability resource and advocacy organization serving people with disabilities in Santa Clara County. Founded in 1976, SVILC uses a peer-based approach to support self-advocacy, personal empowerment, and independent living in the community.

Through its independent living programs, SVILC offers skills development, peer support, individual advocacy, benefits-navigation assistance, housing-search guidance, community transition coordination, and personal care attendant education. The organization also provides access to assistive technology resources and information referrals intended to help people make informed decisions about independence and community living.

People seeking housing-related help may also review NHREA’s California homeless assistance resources and federal assistance resources. Visit SVILC’s official website to confirm current program details and learn how to begin its intake process.
