As a statewide center operating under the Northern Mariana Islands State Plan for Independent Living, the organization provides these cross-disability, nonresidential services in compliance with standards and assurances established under Section 725 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. The organization has maintained consistent federal support under this program since at least 2021, with annual award amounts historically ranging from approximately $123,599 to $130,263.
