Administracion Rehabilitacion Vocacional

Administracion Rehabilitacion Vocacional, doing business as the Vocational Rehabilitation Program, is a local government entity based in San Juan, Puerto Rico, that serves as the state vocational rehabilitation agency for the commonwealth. The organization has maintained continuous federal grant funding since at least 2021 and is registered in SAM.gov through December 2026. As Puerto Rico's designated entity for rehabilitation services, Administracion Rehabilitacion Vocacional receives federal grant support to deliver comprehensive vocational rehabilitation and independent living services to individuals with disabilities across the territory, focusing on employment preparation, skill development, and community integration to promote self-sufficiency and full participation in mainstream society.

The organization has consistently received formula grant awards from two primary federal agencies: the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) and the Administration for Community Living (ACL), formerly known as the Administration on Disabilities. The primary grant program supporting Administracion Rehabilitacion Vocacional is the State Vocational Rehabilitation Services (VR) program (CFDA 84.126), which has provided substantial multi-year funding—most recently a $26.87 million award for FY2026. Additional major programs include Supported Employment Services for Individuals with the Most Significant Disabilities (CFDA 84.187), which funds specialized employment placement and ongoing job support services, and Independent Living Services for Older Individuals Who Are Blind (CFDA 84.177), providing vocational assessments, career counseling, job training, and assistive technology support tailored to visually impaired seniors. The organization also receives funding under the Independent Living State Grants program (CFDA 93.369) administered by ACL, with a $116,322 FY2026 award supporting broader independent living services. Sub-grant awards have been provided through the Governor's Authorized Representative, with documented sub-awards in 2024, 2023, and 2021 for various vocational rehabilitation activities and building/structure improvements. These diverse funding streams enable Administracion Rehabilitacion Vocacional to provide individualized vocational rehabilitation services including assessments, counseling, skills training, job placement assistance, supported employment programs, and assistive technology support to thousands of individuals with disabilities throughout Puerto Rico.
