Formula Grant 2525NYILCL

Living Independently IS For Everyone At Rcil Inc. received a $315,375 formula grant award 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. The organization delivers five core independent living services to individuals with significant disabilities in New York: 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, cross-disability nonprofit organization, the center operates as a nonresidential facility governed primarily by individuals with disabilities themselves. This award represents a continuation of the organization's existing federal funding relationship under the statutory funding priorities established by the Rehabilitation Act, which prioritizes sustained support for compliant centers delivering comprehensive independent living services designed to enhance independence and promote full community integration for persons with significant disabilities.
