FY2026 (scdd) DD act state councils on developmental disabilities

The Administration for Community Living at the Department of Health and Human Services awarded the New Mexico Developmental Disabilities Council $729,784 on October 1, 2025, under the Developmental Disabilities Basic Support and Advocacy Grants program (CFDA 93.630).

The award supports development and implementation of a comprehensive, coordinated statewide system of services and advocacy designed to enable individuals with developmental disabilities to achieve independence, productivity, integration, and community inclusion. Funding assists the State in developing plans that enhance the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities and their families while protecting their legal and human rights.

The Developmental Disabilities Council, headquartered in Albuquerque, is a New Mexico state government entity designated to administer the program at the state level. The award period runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027, with all work performed in New Mexico. This is a formula grant; award amounts are determined by statutory allocation rather than competitive selection. As a non-federal entity expending less than $750,000 in federal awards annually, the recipient is exempt from single or program-specific audit requirements under 2 CFR 200, except as otherwise noted in the regulation. Funds must be obligated by the end of the fiscal year following the award year and liquidated by the end of the subsequent fiscal year.
