Umpqua Valley Disabilities Network

Umpqua Valley Disabilities Network (UVDN) is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Roseburg, Oregon, registered with SAM.gov since October 2009. As a consumer-controlled, community-based center for independent living, UVDN delivers comprehensive support services to individuals with significant disabilities across Oregon. The organization has established itself as a reliable recipient of federal funding dedicated to advancing independent living and disability services, with a consistent track record of grant awards spanning multiple fiscal years.

UVDN's federal grant work centers exclusively on Centers for Independent Living (CFDA 93.432) formula grants awarded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Community Living (ACL). Since 2021, the organization has received annual or multi-year formula grants of $122,649 each, with awards dating from September 2021 through September 2027, indicating sustained federal investment in the organization's mission. The specific services UVDN provides through these grants include peer support, information and referral services, individual and systems advocacy, transition assistance, and skills training. These services are designed to help individuals with disabilities achieve maximum independence and full community integration. Additionally, UVDN received supplemental public health workforce funding in March 2022 to support Part C Centers for Independent Living operations. The grants have been administered through various federal agencies, including the Administration on Disabilities and the National Institute on Disability Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research, reflecting the interconnected federal structure supporting independent living services. UVDN operates as part of a statewide network of consumer-controlled, cross-disability nonprofit centers delivering mandated services under the federal Rehabilitation Act, positioning the organization as a critical component of Oregon's disability services infrastructure with no identified prime or subcontractor partnerships in its federal award history.
