Federal Grant Award Summary

Lifetime Independence For Everyone, Inc. received a $272,119 formula grant awarded on September 30, 2025, 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 supports the organization's operations through September 29, 2027, as part of Texas's statewide network of Centers for Independent Living (CILs). The funding enables the organization to deliver five core independent living services to individuals with significant disabilities: 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, Lifetime Independence For Everyone, Inc. operates as a cross-disability service provider designed to enhance independence, productivity, and full community integration for individuals with disabilities. The formula grant allocation is distributed through a population-based methodology that prioritizes sustained funding for compliant existing centers and cost-of-living adjustments, consistent with the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Texas's State Plan for Independent Living.
