The Center for Independent Living of South Central Pennsylvania received a $310,816 formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living under the ACL Centers for Independent Living program (CFDA 93.432), effective September 30, 2025 through September 29, 2027. This award supports the organization's delivery of core independent living services to individuals with significant disabilities throughout South Central Pennsylvania, including information and referral, independent living skills training, peer counseling, individual and systems advocacy, and transition assistance to facilitate movement from institutional to community-based living arrangements.

As a consumer-controlled, community-based nonprofit center, the organization maintains compliance with standards and assurances established under Section 725 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and operates as part of Pennsylvania's statewide network of centers for independent living. The formula grant represents a continuation award reflecting the center's demonstrated ability to meet federal compliance requirements and serve vulnerable populations with disabilities. This funding builds on the organization's established track record of federal grant management, with annual awards ranging from approximately $292,902 to $310,816 since fiscal year 2021 under the same federal program.
