FY2026 (patb) TBI act protection & advocacy: traumatic brain injury

The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living awarded $198,612 to Georgia Advocacy Office, Inc. on October 1, 2025, under the State Grants for Protection and Advocacy Services program (CFDA 93.873) to provide services to individuals with traumatic brain injury.

Georgia Advocacy Office, Inc., the designated Protection and Advocacy system for Georgia, delivers information, referrals, advice, individual and family advocacy, legal representation, and specific assistance in self-advocacy to individuals with traumatic brain injury. The award covers the period October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027, with place of performance in Georgia.

This is a formula grant. The program funds state Protection and Advocacy systems to serve individuals with traumatic brain injury. Grantees must maintain grant records for four years after submission of the Federal Financial Report; if any litigation, claim, negotiation, audit, or other action involving the award begins before the expiration of that period, records must be retained until completion of the action and resolution of all issues or until the end of the four-year period, whichever is later. Funding beyond the first year depends on availability of appropriated funds for the State PATBI Program in subsequent fiscal years, grantee satisfactory performance, and federal determination that continued funding is in the government's best interest.
