Formula Grant H187A260012

The District of Columbia Government, through its Rehabilitation Services Administration Division operating as the Human Services Department, received a $150,000 formula grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) for the Supported Employment Services for Individuals with the Most Significant Disabilities program (CFDA 84.187). The award, effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026, supports the District's development and delivery of collaborative supported employment services designed specifically for individuals with the most significant disabilities within the District of Columbia.

Under this program, the District implements supported employment initiatives in collaboration with public and private non-profit organizations to enhance employment opportunities, independence, and quality of life for individuals with disabilities. The funding operates under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) framework, with the District required to maintain a Supported Employment supplement to its VR (Vocational Rehabilitation) services portion of its Unified or Combined State Plan. Program funds are withdrawn through the Electronic Transfer System, and the District must maintain comprehensive financial and programmatic records for three years following submission of final financial reports.
