Silicon Valley Independent Living Center (SVILC) is a nonprofit organization focused on disability justice and inclusion for people with disabilities in Santa Clara County, California. Established in 1976, SVILC operates as an Independent Living Center, emphasizing the rights, autonomy, and participation of individuals with disabilities through building disability identity, culture, and pride, and by partnering with others to protect civil and human rights. Serving a cross-disability, intergenerational, and multicultural community, the organization aims to create fully inclusive communities and opportunities for personal and community transformation, with a staff and board largely composed of people with disabilities. In partnership with local agencies and programs, SVILC collaborates on initiatives that support mobility, accessibility, and emergency readiness, including participation in regional efforts like a transportation provider alliance announced in 2024. SVILC is based in San Jose, in the broader Bay Area region, and participates in the broader network of consumer-controlled ILCs across California and the United States.
