Federal Grant Award Summary

Resources for Independent Living, Inc. (RIL) received a $452,740 Formula Grant award dated September 30, 2025, under the Administration for Community Living (ACL) Centers for Independent Living program (CFDA 93.432). This award supports RIL's operation as a Centers for Independent Living (CIL) provider serving individuals with significant disabilities in Virginia through September 29, 2027. As a consumer-controlled, community-based nonprofit organization, RIL delivers core independent living services including information and referral assistance, independent living skills training, peer counseling and support, individual and systems advocacy, and transition assistance for individuals transitioning from institutional to community-based living environments.

This continuation award reflects ACL's ongoing commitment to RIL's mission, as the organization has maintained consistent annual funding of approximately $452,000 since at least FY 2021 under the statutory formula-grant allocation structure. RIL operates as a prime grantee with direct accountability to ACL and does not subcontract service delivery, maintaining uninterrupted service provision to Virginia residents with disabilities. The award supports RIL's role within the nationwide network of independent living services funded through the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, prioritizing existing centers' continuation and cost-of-living adjustments before funding allocations to new centers.
