Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2021 ACL AOD IL 0113
This grant opportunity, titled "Centers for Independent Living - Michigan" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2021 ACL AOD IL 0113), was issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Administration for Community Living (ACL). It is a discretionary grant program under CFDA 93.432 (Income Security and Social Services) intended to strengthen independent living supports for people with disabilities by establishing a new Center for Independent Living (CIL) in Michigan. The purpose is to provide, expand, and improve access to independent living services while also reinforcing the broader statewide and national network of CILs.
ACL planned to make one award to stand up a single new center that would serve a specific multi-county area in Michigan: St. Clair, Lapeer, Sanilac, Tuscola, and Huron counties. The estimated total funding available for this award was $142,635, which also functioned as the award ceiling. Because only one award was expected, the competition was designed to select one qualified organization capable of covering that geographic service area and delivering the full set of required services consistent with the CIL model.
To be eligible to apply, an organization needed to be a nonprofit with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The funding instrument type was a grant. Applications had to be submitted electronically by the stated deadline of September 7, 2021, no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.
A key requirement of this opportunity is that any center funded under it must provide, at a minimum, the core independent living services required of CILs. Those core services include: (1) information and referral, meaning helping individuals locate and access appropriate community resources and supports; (2) independent living skills training, which focuses on practical skills and strategies that increase a person's ability to live independently in the community; (3) peer counseling, which involves support and guidance delivered through peer relationships, typically with people who have lived experience with disability and independent living; and (4) individual and systems advocacy, covering both direct advocacy for individuals and broader efforts to address barriers in policies, programs, and community systems.
In addition to the traditional core services, the opportunity emphasizes services that support people at critical transition points. This includes facilitating transitions from nursing homes and other institutions back into community living, providing assistance to people who are at risk of entering institutions so they can remain in the community, and supporting youth with disabilities as they transition to postsecondary life, such as higher education, employment, and more independent adult living. Overall, the grant is structured to build local capacity in the five listed counties by establishing a functioning CIL that delivers required services, supports community integration, and advances independent living outcomes for residents with disabilities.Apply for HHS 2021 ACL AOD IL 0113
