ADVOCATING FOR A FULLY ACCESSIBLE SOCIETY

“Empowering New York City: The Leading Advocates for People with Disabilities.”

The Harlem Independent Living Center promotes independence and advocates for community change.

Harlem Independent Living Center (HILC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving people with disabilities throughout the five boroughs of New York City, with a special focus on minority communities and the Greater Harlem area. Our team comprised of trained professionals (many of whom are disabled themselves or have direct experience with disabilities) provides essential support. HILC empowers individuals with disabilities, particularly from minority backgrounds, along with their families and friends, by equipping them with the information and skills needed to live independently.
