Formula Grant 2601COPATB

The Center for Legal Advocacy, doing business as The Legal Center for People with Disabilities and Older People, received a $111,714 formula grant award effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027, from the Administration on Disabilities (AoD) under the State Grants for Protection and Advocacy Services program (CFDA 93.873). This award funds Colorado's designated Protection and Advocacy system to deliver comprehensive services to individuals with traumatic brain injury, including information and referrals, individual and family advocacy, legal representation, and self-advocacy assistance.

As Colorado's state Protection and Advocacy entity, the Center for Legal Advocacy leverages this federal funding to investigate abuse and neglect, ensure voting rights protection, facilitate community integration, provide benefits counseling, and conduct systemic advocacy on behalf of individuals with traumatic brain injury and other disabilities. The organization maintains a robust track record administering multiple federal grant programs totaling over $374,000 in FY2026 funding across the Departments of Health and Human Services and Education, positioning it to effectively deliver mandated services throughout the four-year project period contingent upon satisfactory performance and continued federal appropriations.
