Federal Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living awarded $265,246 to Mid-Ohio Board For An Independent Living Environment (operating as Mobile Center For Independent Living) on September 30, 2025, under the ACL Centers for Independent Living program (CFDA 93.432). This formula grant supports the delivery of core independent living services to individuals with significant disabilities in Ohio through September 29, 2027. The funded services include information and referral assistance, independent living skills training, peer counseling, individual and systems advocacy, and transition assistance from institutional to community-based living environments.

Mobile Center For Independent Living operates as a consumer-controlled, community-based nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering individuals with disabilities to achieve maximum independence and full community integration. As a Columbus-based organization with a track record of federal funding compliance, the center provides direct service delivery to Ohio's disabled population without functioning as a prime contractor or subcontractor to other entities. The award represents continuation funding recognizing the organization's compliance with Rehabilitation Act standards and assurances, consistent with statutory funding priorities that prioritize support for existing compliant centers and cost-of-living adjustments.
