Federal Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living awarded a formula grant of $659,735 to Center For Independent Living Broward Inc. on September 30, 2025, under the ACL Centers for Independent Living program (CFDA 93.432). This two-year award, extending through September 29, 2027, supports the delivery of five core independent living services to individuals with significant disabilities across South Florida: information and referral, independent living skills training, peer counseling, individual and systems advocacy, and transition assistance from institutional to community-based living arrangements.

Center For Independent Living Broward Inc., a consumer-controlled, community-based nonprofit organization headquartered in Lauderdale Lakes, Florida, will utilize this funding to empower individuals with disabilities to achieve maximum independence, self-sufficiency, and full community integration. The organization operates as a cross-disability, nonresidential entity governed by individuals with disabilities themselves, consistent with program requirements. This formula grant continues the organization's established network within Florida's statewide centers for independent living, reflecting its demonstrated compliance with program standards and assurances under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
