Welcome To
Northern Nevada Center for Independent Living
NNCIL has three offices. The main office in Sparks was founded in 1982, with two outlying rural offices opening in February and April of 1994. Our agency is a nonprofit, consumer based, consumer driven organization providing quality support services to individuals with disabilities. Our emphasis is on the Independent Living Philosophy, which strongly encourages people with disabilities to live their lives to the maximum degree of independence. We believe that EVERYONE has the right and responsibility to make choices in his or her own lives and have the opportunity to experience success and failure. This allows an individual, regardless of the severity of his or her disability the potential to grow, develop and share fully in the joys and responsibilities of society.
ATTENTION! People with disabilities living in the Reno city limits... NNCIL through the City of Reno has funds remaining for minor home modifications. If you need a ramp, grab bars or other minor home modifications please apply. NNCIL will manage the process for you. To qualify for this program you must have a disability, meet eligibility income requirements and your place of residence be less than 50 years old. Please call our Sparks office and ask for Bob or Hentjie at 775-353-3599.
Please join NNCIL at the Mark Wellman Adventure Day, Saturday, June 27th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Sparks Marina. NNCIL will have an information booth with Board Members and staff to answer any questions or receive information on the services and programs we provide.
NNCIL in coordination with RTC will also host a Wheelchair Workshop out at this event. If you or someone you know with a disability is interested in obtaining information and training to ride public transportation, please stop by and see us!
