Federal Grant Award Summary

The Administration for Community Living's Centers for Independent Living program (CFDA 93.432) awarded ANN Arbor Center For Independent Living Inc., operating as Disability Network Washtenaw Monroe, a formula grant of $158,392 effective September 30, 2025, through September 29, 2027. This award supports the delivery of five core independent living services to individuals with significant disabilities across Washtenaw and Monroe counties in Michigan: information and referral assistance, independent living skills training, peer counseling, individual and systems advocacy, and transition assistance for individuals transitioning from institutional to community-based living environments.

As a consumer-controlled, community-based nonprofit organization with a board majority composed of individuals with disabilities, the awardee provides comprehensive services designed to enhance independence, productivity, and full community integration for vulnerable populations in its service region. The formula grant funding supports ongoing operations of this established center, which has consistently received annual federal awards since at least 2021 and serves as a prime recipient of Administration for Community Living resources. Beyond direct federal funding, the organization leverages complementary sub-awards from Michigan state agencies to expand specialized programming, including nursing facility transition initiatives and additional independent living core contracts.
