plan for establishing a statewide

network of centers. Centers are

cross-disability, nonresidential, private

nonprofit agencies that are designed and

operated within local communities by

individuals with disabilities and

provide an array of independent living

(IL) services.

consumer-controlled, community-based,

cross-disability, nonresidential, private

meet the requirements of 34 CFR 366.24

and propose to serve areas that are

unserved or underserved in the State of
