Helping
You...Help Yourself!
Independent Living (ILP) is
a vendored program contracted through Redwood Coast Regional Center (RCRC) that helps developmentally disabled adults within
Del Norte County, function independently with limited outside assistance.
Our program encourages self-reliance
and self-advocacy by teaching consumers to evaluate options, make informed choices and to use the community's resources
available to them. We provide a safety net to ensure that needs do not go unnoticed or ignored.
