Independent Living Advisory Council
As required by 409.1451(7) F.S., the Independent Living Services Advisory Council was created by the Florida Legislature with the "purpose of reviewing and making recommendations concerning the implementation and operation of the independent living transition services." Each year the advisory council prepares and submits a report to the Florida Legislature and the Department of Children and Families on the status of the services being provided, including successes and barriers to these services.
If you would like more information please contact Brandie McCabe, Independent Living Specialist, office phone 850-717-4218 or email Brandie.McCabe@myflfamilies.com.
