The Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Community Living (ACL) awarded a $740,324 two-year formula grant to Able South Carolina, a disability-led non-profit organization based in Columbia, South Carolina. The grant funds were provided through the ACL Centers for Independent Living (CFDA 93.432) program, which supports a nationwide network of consumer-controlled, community-based nonprofit organizations that empower individuals with significant disabilities. The grant will enable Able South Carolina to provide core independent living services such as skills training, peer counseling, advocacy, and referrals across 23 counties in South Carolina. The organization will also use the funding to deliver specialized services, including training on violence against individuals with disabilities, work incentives counseling, vaccine equity efforts, leadership development, and support for survivors of abuse. Additionally, Able South Carolina plans to engage in sub-grant partnerships with entities like the South Carolina Attorney General's Office, United Way Association of South Carolina, Syracuse University, and the Christopher Reeve Foundation to expand its reach and impact in areas such as employment equality, community-based health initiatives, public health integration, and supporting underserved populations with disabilities.
