The Center for Independent Living of North Central Florida, Inc. received a $424,911 formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living (ACL) under the ACL Centers for Independent Living program (CFDA 93.432) for the two-year period ending September 29, 2027. This award supports the organization's operation as a statewide center for independent living (CIL) serving individuals with significant disabilities throughout North Central Florida.

The funding enables the Center to deliver core independent living services designed to enhance independence and community integration, including information and referral services, independent living skills training, peer counseling, individual and systems advocacy, and transition assistance from institutional to community settings. As a consumer-controlled, community-based, cross-disability nonprofit organization, the Center provides these services to empower individuals with disabilities to achieve greater independence and full participation in mainstream American society. The formula grant award reflects the organization's demonstrated compliance with statutory standards and assurances under the Rehabilitation Act and its established capacity to manage federal funding as a prime recipient within the regional independent living services infrastructure.
