Your Voice Matters

The Florida Independent Living Council (FILC) is hosting two upcoming virtual Public Forums to gather feedback on Personal Care Assistance (PCA) services in Florida.

These conversations will help shape the next State Plan for Independent Living and provide an opportunity for individuals with disabilities, family members, caregivers, advocates, and community partners to share their experiences and ideas. Participants will also get a preview of a new PCA Finder website designed to help connect people with personal care assistance resources.
