The California Foundation for Independent Living Centers (CFILC) is a nonprofit organization based in Sacramento, California, that supports the network of Independent Living Centers across the state. Founded to coordinate peer education among executive directors and to inform public policymakers on disability-related issues, CFILC now works in multiple capacities, including a Disability Organizing Network and an assistive-technology program called Ability Tools, to aid independence for people with disabilities. The organization serves the ILC network and aims to improve access to services and resources for individuals with disabilities, older adults, and people with medical or independent-living needs, particularly in disaster and emergency contexts through its Disability Disaster Access and Resources programs. CFILC collaborates with partners in the broader community, including utility providers and other nonprofit organizations, to support vulnerable populations during emergencies and power-related events. The group operates within the nonprofit sector in California, engaging with regional centers and partner organizations to advance accessibility and independence for its clients. Recent partnerships and program launches highlighted include initiatives designed to assist older adults and people with disabilities during disasters and public safety power shutoffs.
