About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Administration for Community Living (HHS) is forecasting a cooperative agreement to establish one center for independent living in Guam, with an estimated total award of $159,762. The program record references solicitation HHS-2026-ACL-AOD-IL-0014, whose August 3, 2026 due date has passed as of today. Applicants must be consumer-controlled, community-based, cross-disability, non-residential, private nonprofit agencies that are 501(c)(3) organizations. Each applicant must either not currently receive Part C funds under Chapter 1 of Title VII of the Rehabilitation Act, or propose expanding an existing center through a separate and complete center at a different geographic location, with the existing center's governing board permitted to serve as the new center's board. The applicant must also propose serving a geographic area identified as unserved or underserved, and submit documentation that the new center is consistent with the outlying area's State Plan for Independent Living. The applicant-type listing also names domestic private nonprofits, including Indian tribal organizations, faith-based organizations, and community-based organizations. The source does not state a cost share requirement.

The award funds one center in Guam for a 24-month project period with two 12-month budget periods. The center must provide, at a minimum, information and referral, independent living skills training, peer counseling, individual and systems advocacy, transition services from nursing homes and other institutions, assistance to those at risk of institutionalization, and youth transition to postsecondary life. New awards are made through competitive peer review, and selection criteria appear in the Funding Opportunity Announcement on Grants.gov. Pre-application coordination is required, and the program is subject to E.O. 12372 review. Under statutory priorities, new centers receive funding only after existing centers receive prior-year funding levels and cost-of-living increases.

Assistance Listing 93.432, ACL Centers for Independent Living, is the parent program. No incumbent recipient is named. Recipients expending $750,000 or more in Federal awards in a year must complete a single or program-specific audit under 2 CFR 200 Subpart F.
