FY 2025 ilcl ~ state plan independent living centers

The Center for Independent Living of Central Pennsylvania received a $291,611 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) for the period September 30, 2025 through September 29, 2027. The award supports CILCP's operation as a consumer-controlled, community-based center providing comprehensive independent living services to individuals with significant disabilities throughout Pennsylvania. Core services delivered include information and referral, independent living skills training, peer counseling, individual and systems advocacy, and transition assistance to help individuals move from institutional settings to community-based living arrangements.

As an established statewide network center, CILCP leverages this formula grant allocation to maintain and expand its role as a critical resource for vulnerable populations with disabilities. The organization's consistent federal award history reflects its proven capacity to deliver essential disability services and maintain compliance with federal grant requirements. Beyond core independent living services, CILCP has demonstrated capacity to administer specialized federal funding, including supplemental sub-award funding from the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry for Deaf-Blind Support Service Provider training and support statewide, further extending the organization's impact across specialized disability communities within the state.
