Independent Living Council Explained

Some states in the United States^{[1] [2] [3]} have a state-named Independent Living Council. While federal funding exists, each state's funding is allocated by the individual state's legislature. Although they can make recommendations, they have few to no powers regarding privately financed single-family homes. At times state Independent Living Councils are caught in a conflict of interest.
