The Department of Desarrollo Economico Y Comercio (DDEC) in Puerto Rico has been awarded a $1,685,396 Formula Grant under the Developmental Disabilities Basic Support and Advocacy Grants program (CFDA 93.630) by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living (ACL). This 2-year grant, effective from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026, supports a range of services to enable individuals with developmental disabilities to achieve independence, productivity, and full community integration. The grant funding allows DDEC to provide legal advocacy, rights protection, benefits counseling, assistive technology support, rehabilitation, and community integration initiatives. DDEC frequently sub-awards portions of this grant to local workforce boards, municipalities, and community partners to ensure targeted, localized service delivery across Puerto Rico. This federal grant award is part of DDEC's broader portfolio of workforce development, energy efficiency, trade expansion, and economic recovery programs funded by agencies such as the Department of Energy, Department of Labor, Small Business Administration, and Economic Development Administration.
