About this program
The Department of Education administers the Independent Living Services for Older Individuals Who are Blind, Recovery Act program (CFDA 84.399) to supplement core independent living services grants awarded to states, territories, and outlying areas by improving and expanding services for older individuals who are blind, with the most recent grant awards disbursed on February 17, 2009.
This program is inactive and has not issued new awards since 2009. All 52 grants were awarded in a single cohort on February 17, 2009, with project periods concluding September 30, 2010. No subsequent grant opportunities have been posted. The program was a one-time recovery-act funded initiative that distributed $33.3 million in total federal obligations to supplement the ongoing OIB program (CFDA 84.177). Award magnitudes varied substantially, ranging from $3,170 to $3.7 million per recipient, with a median grant in the $400,000 to $500,000 range. Representative awards included $3.7 million to one recipient, $2.5 million to another, and $2.3 million to a third.
All grants were issued as Formula Grants and allocated to states, territories, and outlying areas under a formula-based distribution mechanism. The Department of Education was the sole funding agency across the entire portfolio. The program represents recovery-act stimulus spending with a fixed appropriation and a completed distribution cycle; no competitive opportunities are currently available or anticipated based on the source material.
This program is not currently pursuing new applications. If your organization previously received Recovery Act funds under CFDA 84.399 and retained unobligated balances or has compliance or closeout questions, contact the Department of Education; otherwise, focus on the ongoing core program (CFDA 84.177) for new funding in this service area.
