Federal Grant Award Summary

Resource Center For Independent Living, Inc. received a Formula Grant award of $251,609 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Community Living (ACL) under the ACL Centers for Independent Living program (CFDA 93.432). The award, effective September 30, 2025 through September 29, 2027, supports the organization's operation as a Kansas-based Centers for Independent Living (CIL) provider serving individuals with significant disabilities in the state's independent living network.

Under this award, Resource Center For Independent Living, Inc. delivers a comprehensive array of five core independent living services: information and referral, independent living skills training, peer counseling, individual and systems advocacy, and transition assistance from institutional to community-based living. These services are designed to empower individuals with significant disabilities to achieve maximum independence, self-sufficiency, and full community integration. As a consumer-controlled, community-based nonprofit organization, the center maintains governance structures with majority board and key staff representation from individuals with disabilities themselves, consistent with CIL program standards under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended.
