FY 2025 ilcl ~ state plan independent living centers

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Administration for Community Living awarded Central Coast Center for Independent Living (CCCIL) $365,682 through the ACL Centers for Independent Living Formula Grant program (CFDA 93.432) on September 30, 2025. This formula grant, which extends through September 29, 2027, supports CCCIL's operation as part of California's statewide network of centers for independent living. Under this award, CCCIL provides core independent living services to individuals with significant disabilities, including information and referral services, independent living skills training, peer counseling, individual and systems advocacy, and transition assistance for individuals moving from institutional to community-based living environments.

As a consumer-controlled, community-based nonprofit organization, CCCIL uses these federal funds to promote greater autonomy and full community integration for persons with disabilities throughout California. The ACL Centers for Independent Living program distributes formula-allocated continuation awards to established state networks according to statutory priorities, with existing centers receiving prior-year funding levels and cost-of-living adjustments as funds permit. CCCIL's continued receipt of annual formula grants reflects its established track record as a reliable provider within the disability services sector and its consistent compliance with program standards and assurances under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended.
