Federal Grant Award Summary

New Horizons Disability Empowerment Center, Inc. received a formula grant award of $297,728 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, dated September 30, 2025, supports a two-year performance period extending through September 29, 2027. As an established Centers for Independent Living (CIL) provider serving Arizona, New Horizons delivers five core independent living 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 significant disabilities to achieve maximum independence, self-sufficiency, and full community integration. New Horizons operates as a consumer-controlled, community-based, cross-disability nonprofit organization headquartered in Prescott Valley, Arizona, with a governance structure reflecting the leadership and participation of individuals with disabilities. The funding represents a continuation award supporting the organization's established role within Arizona's statewide network of independent living centers and reflects the Rehabilitation Act's prioritization of supporting existing compliant centers at prior-year funding levels with cost-of-living adjustments.
