Services for Independent Living (SIL) is a nonprofit disability resource center serving Columbia and Mid-Missouri. As one of 21 Centers for Independent Living in Missouri, we help people with disabilities, seniors, and veterans live independently, access critical services, and advocate for their rights.

From accessible transportation to peer support and in-home care through Consumer Directed Services (CDS), SIL connects people to the tools they need to thrive.
