The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living awarded the Health Services Kentucky Cabinet For $464,382 on October 1, 2025, under the ACL Independent Living State Grants program (CFDA 93.369) to expand and improve independent living services for individuals with significant disabilities throughout Kentucky.

The award funds the delivery of independent living services designed to promote full integration and inclusion of individuals with disabilities into mainstream American society. The Cabinet, serving as the designated state entity for Kentucky's approved State Plan for Independent Living, receives and disburses funds under this formula grant mechanism. Performance runs through September 30, 2027.

The Cabinet passed sub-grant funding to the Kentucky Statewide Independent Living Council Inc., which operates centers for independent living within the state. The independent living services program operates across all 120 Kentucky counties through Area Agencies on Aging, local health departments, community-based organizations, and regional development districts serving as pass-through recipients and sub-awardees delivering direct services to beneficiaries.

Awards under this program are made annually and may be renewed for up to two additional years under the approved State Plan for Independent Living. An approved state plan is a condition precedent to fund receipt.
