Vermont State Plan for Independent Living

The Vermont Statewide Independent Living Council (VT SILC) seeks to develop two contracts with two different contractors to achieve measurable progress on the goals, objectives, and outcomes in the Vermont State Plan for Independent Living (VT SPIL). The contractors will work with the VT SILC to provide services that further the goals, objectives, and activities listed in the VT SPIL, including housing, healthcare, transportation, mental health, voting access, transition services, and department of corrections. The contractors will also work to expand Independent Living services in Vermont and demonstrate the expansion of their organization. • The VT SILC is a not-for-profit, non-governmental, consumer-controlled organization established in accordance with the Title VII of the Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973. • The VT SILC provides systems-level support to direct services for Vermonters with disabilities. • The VT SPIL is a 3-year operations plan intended to guide the work on the Independent Living (IL) direct service providers in the state of Vermont. • The contractors will report quarterly on their progress and provide written documentation of their progress. • The contractors will also provide monthly invoices to the VT SILC Director.
