Formula Grant H161A260064

The Nevada Disability Advocacy and Law Center received a $131,917 Formula Grant from the Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services under the Rehabilitation Services Client Assistance Program (CFDA 84.161) for the period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. As Nevada's designated protection and advocacy system, the Center uses CAP funding to advise, inform, and assist individuals with disabilities in understanding and accessing vocational rehabilitation and independent living services under the Rehabilitation Act. The program delivers comprehensive advocacy, counseling, and legal representation services to help clients and client-applicants navigate the rehabilitation service system, understand their rights, and resolve disputes with service providers.

The Center maintains client case records and documentation of services delivered as required by program regulations, ensuring accountability and compliance with Education Department General Administrative Rules. As a prime awardee operating without subcontractors, the Center integrates CAP services within its broader portfolio of disability rights advocacy programs, which includes additional federally funded initiatives focused on protection and advocacy for specific populations including individuals with mental illness, developmental disabilities, traumatic brain injury, and voting access barriers.
