Federal Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Community Living (ACL) awarded Central Coast Center For Independent Living (CCCIL) a formula grant of $365,682 under the ACL Centers for Independent Living program (CFDA 93.432). The award, issued September 30, 2025, supports a two-year performance period through September 29, 2027. CCCIL will deliver comprehensive independent living services to individuals with significant disabilities throughout California as part of the statewide network of Centers for Independent Living (CILs). Core service offerings include information and referral services, independent living skills training, peer counseling, individual and systems advocacy, and transition assistance for individuals transitioning from institutional to community-based living environments.

The grant supports CCCIL's mission to empower persons with disabilities to achieve greater autonomy and full community integration. As a consumer-controlled, community-based, cross-disability nonprofit organization, CCCIL operates as a prime recipient within California's CIL network while also serving as a sub-awardee for the California Department of Rehabilitation on specialized disability service initiatives. The formula grant represents a continuation award based on CCCIL's demonstrated compliance with program standards and assurances established under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended.
