Federal Grant Award Summary

Central Iowa Center For Independent Living received a $264,167 formula grant from the Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Community Living (ACL) under the ACL Centers for Independent Living program (CFDA 93.432). The award was obligated on September 30, 2025, with a performance period extending through September 29, 2027. This funding supports the Center's delivery of five core independent living services to individuals with significant disabilities across Iowa: information and referral assistance, independent living skills training, peer counseling, individual and systems advocacy, and transition assistance for individuals transitioning from institutional to community-based living environments.

As a consumer-controlled, cross-disability nonprofit organization, Central Iowa Center For Independent Living utilizes this formula grant allocation to enhance independence and promote full community integration for individuals with disabilities throughout the state. The award represents a continuation of consistent federal support under the ACL Centers for Independent Living program, which prioritizes funding for existing compliant centers through a population-based allocation formula. This sustained funding stream enables the Center to maintain its statewide network operations and service delivery capacity as part of Iowa's broader independent living services infrastructure.
