Formula Grant 2503MOILCL

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living awarded a formula grant of $325,804 to the Independent Living Center of Mid-Missouri, Inc. under the ACL Centers for Independent Living program (CFDA 93.432) on September 30, 2025, for a two-year performance period through September 29, 2027. The grant supports the continuation of a statewide network of consumer-controlled, community-based centers that provide independent living services to individuals with significant disabilities in the Mid-Missouri region.

Under this award, the organization delivers five core services: information and referral, independent living skills training, peer counseling, individual and systems advocacy, and transition assistance from institutional to community-based living. These services are designed to empower individuals with disabilities to achieve maximum independence, self-sufficiency, and full community integration. As a compliant center meeting the standards and assurances of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the organization maintains governance structures with a majority of board members and key staff members having significant disabilities themselves, ensuring consumer control and accountability in service delivery.
