Federal Grant Award Summary

The Centre For Living Independently In The Cnmi received a $123,654 formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Community Living (ACL) under the ACL Centers for Independent Living program (CFDA 93.432). The award, issued on September 30, 2025, supports a two-year performance period through September 29, 2027. As a consumer-controlled, community-based nonprofit organization, the awardee delivers five core independent living services designed to empower individuals with significant disabilities: information and referral, independent living skills training, peer counseling, individual and systems advocacy, and transition assistance from institutional to community-based living settings.

The organization's services are tailored to the Northern Mariana Islands community and operate as part of the statewide network of Centers for Independent Living mandated by the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The funding enables the continuation of established independent living services that promote maximum independence, self-sufficiency, and full community integration for individuals with disabilities across the territory. This award reflects consistent federal investment in the awardee's operations, as the organization has maintained continuous ACL formula grant support since at least fiscal year 2021 with annual awards remaining stable in the $123,000–$130,000 range.
