Federal Grant Award Summary

The Administration for Community Living (ACC), under CFDA 93.369 (ACL Independent Living State Grants), awarded $724,107 to the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (doing business as the Talent Investment Agency) on October 1, 2025, for a performance period extending through September 30, 2027. This formula grant supports the expansion and improvement of independent living (IL) services for individuals with significant disabilities throughout Michigan, with the ultimate objective of promoting their full integration and inclusion into mainstream American society.

Under this award, Michigan will deliver independent living services consistent with the Rehabilitation Act Subchapter B framework, operating under an approved State Plan for Independent Living. These services are designed to advance a philosophy of independent living that emphasizes consumer control, peer support, self-help, self-determination, equal access, and individual and system advocacy. The funding enables the state to maximize the leadership, empowerment, independence, and productivity of individuals with disabilities while supporting their economic and social integration. As a formula grant recipient, Michigan may renew this award for up to two additional years (three-year total term), contingent upon maintaining an approved State Plan and compliance with federal record retention requirements of three years from the award date.
