Who is eligible for TLCIL services?
Any person with a disability or anyone who thinks of themselves as a person with a disability or anyone dealing with a disability related issue is eligible for TLCI services. Eligibility is simple. Anyone requesting services will be asked a few questions for our records. We do have to justify our funding with grant providers in order to stay in business and they want to see that we are doing some good in the community. If we don't serve anyone directly then it will be assumed by the grant providers that there is no need for us and our funding will be terminated.
All services are provided free of charge as resources permit. From time to time there will be special events at which participants may be asked for contributions in order to cover expenses.
