This one-year grant, effective from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025, will support the Commission's provision of comprehensive vocational rehabilitation services for individuals who are blind or visually impaired across the state.

The Commission may also sub-award portions of the grant to local workforce boards, non-profit organizations, and community partners to expand service delivery and reach more blind and visually impaired individuals in need of these vital rehabilitation and employment programs.
