FY 2025 ilcl ~ state plan independent living centers

Service Center For Independent Life received a $121,637 formula grant awarded September 30, 2025, under the Administration for Community Living (ACL) Centers for Independent Living program (CFDA 93.432) to support a statewide network of centers for independent living (CILs) in California through September 29, 2027. As a consumer-controlled, community-based nonprofit operating in Claremont, the organization delivers core independent living services including information and referral, peer counseling and support, independent living skills training, individual and systems advocacy, and transition assistance to help individuals with significant disabilities move from institutional to community-based living environments.

This continuation award supports SCIL's ongoing operations as a sub-awardee to the California Department of Rehabilitation, consistent with California's State Plan for Independent Living. The funding enables the organization to provide comprehensive disability services that enhance independence and productivity while promoting full inclusion and integration of individuals with significant disabilities into mainstream American society. The award reflects the program's statutory priority of maintaining existing centers at prior-year funding levels, as SCIL has consistently received formula grant allocations since at least 2021 under this federal program.
