The Independent Living Empowerment Project (ILEP) is a new program to Santa Clara County by the Independent Living Association (ILA) and Community Health Improvement Partners (CHIP). Independent Living Homes provide a shared living environment for individuals with mental health challenges, various disabilities, and low income. The mission of the ILEP is to support Independent Living operators, tenants, and the community by promoting high-quality independent livings. The goal is to empower tenants on their journey of recovery.
The Santa Clara County ILA team members are Hana Brett, Program Manager, who has been a part of this program since its inception in April 2022, and Roni Rodriguez, Peer Support Staff, who joined the program in September of 2022.
