This formula grant, which extends through September 29, 2027, supports the delivery of core independent living services to individuals with significant disabilities across South Florida. The center provides information and referral services, independent living skills training, peer counseling, individual and systems advocacy, and transition assistance to help individuals with disabilities move from institutional settings to community-based living arrangements.

The award represents a continuation funding allocation distributed according to the statutory priority sequencing established under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which prioritizes existing centers at prior-year funding levels and cost-of-living adjustments. The organization has maintained consistent federal funding in this program since 2005, demonstrating sustained capacity to serve vulnerable populations with specialized disability services and community-based support.
