Federal Grant Award Summary

The Center for Independent Living of South Central Pennsylvania received a $310,816 Formula Grant 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). The award was obligated on September 30, 2025, with a performance period extending through September 29, 2027. This funding supports the continuation of the center's consumer-controlled, community-based independent living services network serving individuals with significant disabilities throughout South Central Pennsylvania.

Under this award, the center delivers five core independent living services: information and referral, independent living skills training, peer counseling, individual and systems advocacy, and transition assistance from institutional to community-based living. These services are designed to empower individuals with disabilities to achieve maximum independence, self-sufficiency, and full community integration within their local communities. The center, operated by individuals with disabilities themselves, maintains a cross-disability, nonresidential service delivery model that has demonstrated compliance with federal standards and assurances required under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, qualifying it for continued formula grant funding based on established performance metrics and available appropriations.
