Formula Grant H240A260058

The Nevada Disability Advocacy and Law Center received a formula grant award of $195,895.00 from the Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services under the Program of Protection and Advocacy of Individual Rights (PAIR), CFDA 84.240. The grant period runs from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. As Nevada's designated state protection and advocacy agency, the Center delivers comprehensive legal advocacy and rights protection services to individuals with disabilities, including legal representation, investigation of abuse and neglect, dispute resolution and alternative dispute resolution procedures, information and referral services, and systemic advocacy efforts to ensure protection of constitutional and statutory rights.

The Center's PAIR-funded activities support vulnerable populations across Nevada in achieving independence, productivity, and community integration. Services are delivered in accordance with PAIR program requirements, which mandate that the Center maintain annual priority statements informed by public comment, establish client grievance procedures, utilize mediation and alternative dispute resolution approaches before pursuing formal remedies, and supplement rather than supplant nonfederal funding sources. As a prime awardee with no subcontractors, the Nevada Disability Advocacy and Law Center operates this program alongside multiple other federally-funded disability advocacy initiatives, maintaining continuous federal funding eligibility since 2004.
