The Northeast Independent Living Program, Inc. (NILP) is a consumer controlled, Independent Living Center (ILC) that provides advocacy and services to all people with disabilities who wish to live independently in the community.

Our Five Basic core Services include Information & Referral, Peer Support, Skills Training, Advocacy, and Transition Services.
