FY 2025 ilcl ~ state plan independent living centers

The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living awarded Disability Action Center of Georgia, Inc. (doing business as Disability Link) a formula grant of $685,100 under the ACL Centers for Independent Living program (CFDA 93.432). The award, dated September 30, 2025, with a completion date of September 29, 2027, supports Disability Link's operation as a Centers for Independent Living (CIL) provider serving Georgia's disability community. The organization delivers core independent living services including information and referral, peer support, independent living skills training, individual and systems advocacy, and transition assistance from institutional to community-based living arrangements.

As a consumer-controlled, community-based nonprofit operating in compliance with the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Disability Link uses this formula grant allocation—consistent with its annual funding since 2021—to support a statewide network of independent living services designed to enhance independence and productivity for individuals with significant disabilities. The organization complements its CIL formula grant work through supplemental sub-awards that expand service capacity, including pandemic-response initiatives and specialized programming in home accessibility, community engagement, and benefits outreach assistance, thereby maximizing the impact of federal funding on Georgia's disabled population.
