Welcome to New Horizons!

NHILC is a private non-profit organization that offers a variety of programs and services for persons with disabilities. NHILC was established in 1984 as an association of adults with disabilities working to improve the quality of life for all who have disabilities. NHILC received its first federal grant in 1986 and the designation as a Center for Independent Living.  

 

NHILC serves the 29 parishes of north Louisiana with the primary office in Shreveport and branch offices in Alexandria and Monroe. NHILC is funded by federal grants from the Administration for Community Living, a state grant through Louisiana Rehabilitation Services, and other fee-for-service programs such as Louisiana Medicaid. NHILC is also an Employment Network offering Ticket to Work services through the Social Security Administration. In collaboration with the Internal Revenue Service, NHILC offers free income tax preparation as part of the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program. NHILC provides case management to veterans in the Veterans Direct Care program (VDC). Contact your local VA medical center to request those services.
