Federal Grant Award Summary

The Administration for Community Living awarded Disability Action Center of Georgia, Inc. (doing business as Disability Link) $685,100 in formula grant funding under the ACL Centers for Independent Living program (CFDA 93.432) for the two-year period from September 30, 2025 through September 29, 2027. This award supports Disability Link's operation as a Centers for Independent Living (CIL) provider delivering five core independent living services to individuals with significant disabilities across Georgia: information and referral, independent living skills training, peer counseling, individual and systems advocacy, and transition assistance from institutional to community-based living. The organization operates as a consumer-controlled, community-based nonprofit that empowers individuals with disabilities to achieve maximum independence and full community integration.

Disability Link extends its service delivery through sub-award partnerships, including a $575,051 sub-grant from the University of Kansas Center for Research focused on home accessibility and community engagement programs, and ongoing sub-grants from the Department of Human Services for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) outreach and application assistance. These complementary funding streams enable Disability Link to expand capacity beyond core independent living services while maintaining its primary mission of serving Georgia's disability community through diverse federal funding mechanisms.
