Aim Independent Living Center received a $208,223 formula grant 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) for the two-year period September 30, 2025 through September 29, 2027. As a consumer-controlled, cross-disability, community-based nonprofit organization headquartered in Corning, New York, the center delivers core independent living services designed to enhance independence and community integration for individuals with significant disabilities throughout New York State.

The grant funds a comprehensive array of independent living services including information and referral services, independent living skills training, peer counseling, individual and systems advocacy, and transition assistance to facilitate movement from institutional to community-based living environments. These services advance the statutory mission of the Centers for Independent Living program to promote equal access and self-determination for people with disabilities. Aim Independent Living Center represents a continuation award, reflecting the center's demonstrated compliance with program standards and assurances under section 725 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and its consistent track record of federal grant management since its registration as a federal award recipient in December 2009.
