This formula grant provides financial assistance to expand and improve independent living services to individuals with significant disabilities, promoting their full integration and inclusion into mainstream American society.

Oregon Department of Human Services, as the designated State Entity, distributes the funding to Centers for Independent Living (CILs) across Oregon as sub-awards.
