Resources For Independence Central Valley (RICV) received a formula grant award of $392,399 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living under the ACL Centers for Independent Living program (CFDA 93.432), effective September 30, 2025, through September 29, 2027. As a consumer-controlled, community-based nonprofit center for independent living, RICV delivers core independent living services to individuals with significant disabilities in central California, including information and referral services, independent living skills training, peer counseling, individual and systems advocacy, and transition assistance from institutional to community-based living arrangements.
This award represents continuation funding supporting RICV's participation in California's statewide network of Centers for Independent Living. The funding enables the organization to maintain its service delivery infrastructure and support vulnerable populations across the region in achieving greater self-determination and community integration. RICV's federal funding relationship with the Administration for Community Living has been substantial, with total formula grant awards exceeding $2.5 million since 2019, supplemented by specialized funding for public health workforce initiatives and fair housing services delivered through sub-award partnerships with local municipalities.
