About this program
The Department of Justice Civil Rights Division operates the Americans with Disabilities Act Technical Assistance Program (CFDA 16.108) to enable public accommodations, commercial facilities, and state and local governments to understand and voluntarily comply with Titles II and III of the ADA. The most recent grant award was disbursed on January 1, 2004—over twenty years ago.
This program is not actively funding new awards. The portfolio contains only four Project Grants, spanning from 1993 to 2004, with a combined federal obligation of $766 thousand. The funding cadence was irregular: one award in 1993, one in 1995, one in 2002, and one in 2004. No grant opportunities have been posted recently, and no awards have been made in the past two decades. The Civil Rights Division alone funds this program and accounts for all four awards and all federal dollars obligated.
Recent awards illustrate the program's scope. In 2002, DOJ awarded $125 thousand to support compliance education focused on ADA requirements. A 2004 project received $636,032 for urban areas security initiative pilots incorporating accessibility standards. A 1995 award of approximately $3.4 thousand funded ADA technical assistance programming. Award magnitudes range from under $10 thousand to approximately $636 thousand, with most awards in the low-to-mid five-figure range.
All assistance awarded under this program has taken the form of Project Grants. The program's original charter targeted voluntary compliance training and technical assistance for entities subject to the ADA, but the funding history shows sporadic, small-scale activity and no recent solicitations or awards. No current grant opportunities are posted. Given the two-decade hiatus in award activity and the absence of recent funding signals, this program is not a viable pursuit for current business development activity.
