Rolling Start Incorporated received a $156,755 Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Administration for Community Living (ACL) under the Centers for Independent Living (CIL) program (CFDA 93.432) effective September 30, 2025, with completion by September 29, 2027. This two-year award supports a statewide network of consumer-controlled, community-based centers serving individuals with significant disabilities across San Bernardino, Inyo, and Mono Counties in California.
The funding enables Rolling Start Incorporated to deliver core independent living services including information and referral, independent living skills training, peer counseling, individual and systems advocacy, and transition assistance to facilitate community integration. As a woman-owned nonprofit with federal grant registration since January 2010, the organization also receives supplemental sub-grant funding from the California Department of Rehabilitation to expand transition services, community organizing, and targeted outreach to underrepresented populations within its service area. The award represents a continuation of consistent annual formula grant allocations that Rolling Start Incorporated has maintained since 2021 to sustain comprehensive disability services infrastructure across its region.
