Removing Barriers. Promoting Choices. At the Metropolitan Center for Independent Living (MCIL), we are committed to empowering members of the disability community on a pathway to overcome barriers and to discover access, choices, and the possibilities to realize their goals and aspirations. The heart and soul of our work is elevating the equality of each person’s inalienable rights to have and achieve their goals, and to live the fullness of life as they best determine. From securing better housing or competitive employment, accessing financial benefits planning to lead to better prosperity, coordinating personalized care services, or developing new skills, we help individuals pursue their choices for a better life, a life of independent living. We believe in a world of opportunities, choices, and the freedom to live those choices.
