Federal Grant Award Summary

The Administration on Disabilities awarded $1,191,945 to the Disability Law Center of Virginia under the Developmental Disabilities Basic Support and Advocacy Grants program (CFDA 93.630) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027. As Virginia's designated Protection and Advocacy (P&A) system, Disability Law Center delivers comprehensive legal advocacy, rights protection, and civil rights services for individuals with developmental disabilities throughout the Commonwealth. Core service deliverables include legal representation and advocacy for individuals with developmental disabilities, investigation and remediation of abuse and neglect, benefits counseling, assistive technology support, voting access facilitation, and systems change initiatives designed to promote independence, productivity, and community integration.

The organization leverages this formula-based allocation alongside its diverse federal grant portfolio to provide integrated protection and advocacy services across multiple disability populations in Virginia, including individuals with mental illness, traumatic brain injuries, and other conditions affecting access to services and community participation. The award operates under a two-year performance period with standard federal audit and record retention requirements applicable to formula grants exceeding the $750,000 expenditure threshold.
