Bookkeeping Report Reviewer

The Centre for Independent Living (CILT) is a non-profit, community-based resource organization run by people with disabilities, for people with disabilities. We operate on the philosophy of the Independent Living Movement which affirms the right of persons with disabilities to control their own lives and live independently.

CILT runs the provincial Direct Funding (DF) Program (www.dfontario.ca ), an innovative program that allows individuals with disabilities to become employers of their own personal care attendants. As a self-managed model of attendant services, participants on the program receive funds that allow them to recruit and hire their own staff to assist with routine activities of daily living.
