About Me
Meet Rafael Bonilla, Your Self-Direction Support Broker
With years of experience in public service and a passion for advocacy, I founded Tailored Independence LLC to help individuals with disabilities take control of their services.
As a certified Self-Direction Support Broker in New York, I assist families in navigating the complexities of Self-Direction—making the process smoother, clearer, and tailored to your specific needs. My background in New York City Transit supervision, organization, and problem-solving gives me a strong foundation for managing budgets, deadlines, and the ever-changing landscape of Self-Direction policies.
I believe everyone deserves independence, choice, and quality support. Let’s work together to make Self-Direction work for you!
