📣 West Virginians with disabilities — we want to hear from you!

The West Virginia Statewide Independent Living Council (WVSILC) and the West Virginia Independence Network (WIN) are holding State Plan for Independent Living (SPIL) Listening Sessions across West Virginia this October.

The SPIL helps guide Independent Living services in West Virginia for the next three years — including how funding is used, what services are provided, and how our statewide Independent Living network can better meet the needs of people with disabilities.

If you are a West Virginia resident with a disability, family member, or caregiver, this is your opportunity to tell us what YOU think Independent Living services in West Virginia should look like.

📍 October 15 at 2:00 PM — Mountain State CIL, Huntington
📍 October 22 at 2:00 PM — Mountain State CIL, Beckley
📍 October 27 at 2:00 PM — LiveAbility, Elkins
📍 October 29 at 2:00 PM — Appalachian CIL, Charleston + virtual attendance available

Your experiences and ideas matter. Please join us and help shape the future of Independent Living in West Virginia! ♿💙

💙 Lewis Upshur Flood Assistance is NOW OPEN

As our neighbors in Lewis and Upshur counties move from immediate response into the next phase of rebuilding and recovery, we are putting Flood Fund dollars directly into the hands of families who were impacted.

Working closely with local leaders, we have developed the Lewis Upshur Flood Assistance Program to provide $1,000 assistance payments to eligible households that experienced losses from the July 21 flooding.

Recovery doesn’t end when the floodwaters go down. For many families, the hard work of rebuilding is just beginning.

🏠 If your household was impacted, we encourage you to apply.
➡️ Learn more and apply at tvuw.us/lewisupshur

Please SHARE this post and help us make sure affected families throughout Lewis and Upshur counties know this assistance is available.💙
