FY 2025 ilcl ~ state plan independent living centers

Living Independence Network Corp (Linc) received a $232,046 formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living under the ACL Centers for Independent Living program (CFDA 93.432), awarded September 30, 2025, with completion targeted for September 29, 2027. This funding supports Linc's statewide network of Centers for Independent Living (CILs) across Idaho, which deliver core independent living services to individuals with significant disabilities. Services include information and referral, independent living skills training, peer counseling, individual and systems advocacy, and transition assistance from institutional to community-based living environments.

The award reflects a continuation of formula-allocated funding that Linc has consistently received since fiscal year 2021 at the same annual amount of $232,046. As a consumer-controlled, community-based nonprofit operating by and for individuals with disabilities, Linc must maintain compliance with federal standards and assurances outlined in Section 725 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, to sustain funding. The organization's multi-year performance record and established infrastructure within Idaho's disability services delivery system position it as a key provider supporting maximum independence and full community integration for individuals with disabilities across the state.
