States wishing to receive funding for independent living programs are required to submit a three-year SPIL to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration on Community Living (ACL). In Wisconsin, the Independent Living Council of Wisconsin (ILCW) and directors of the eight Independent Living Centers (ILCs) work together to develop the SPIL. ILCW is an independent entity responsible for monitoring, reviewing, and evaluating the implementation of the SPIL. ILCW used public comments, surveys, and other feedback collected from people across the state to develop the 2025-2027 SPIL. The 2025-2027 SPIL was also developed in collaboration with members and partners of the Wisconsin Independent Living Network (WILN). The 2025-2027 SPIL will go into effect October 1, 2024.
Due to an increase in Innovation and Expansion funding, ILCW has drafted and approved an amendment to the 2025-2027 SPIL. A public comment period will be open from 12:01 A.M. October 17, 2024 through November 17, 2024, 11:59 P.M. More information about the public comment period will be posted as it become available.
