Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2021 ACL AOD IL 0079
The Centers for Independent Living Competition - Guam (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2021 ACL AOD IL 0079) is a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Administration for Community Living (ACL). The purpose of this opportunity is to fund the establishment of one new Center for Independent Living (CIL) in Guam. ACLs goal is to strengthen independent living supports on the island by creating a local organization that can provide, expand, and improve independent living services for people with disabilities, while also reinforcing the broader national network of CILs.
Funding is intended to support a single award, with an estimated award ceiling and total expected funding of $110,326 and one expected award. The grant is categorized under Income Security and Social Services and is listed under CFDA number 93.432. In practical terms, the award is meant to help launch and operate a CIL that serves the community by promoting independence, community integration, and consumer choice for individuals with disabilities in Guam.
Applicants must be nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, and institutions of higher education are specifically excluded. This means eligible applicants are typically community-based disability organizations or nonprofits positioned to run a consumer-focused independent living center. The application timeline for the original posting shows a creation date of July 2, 2021, with an original closing date of August 31, 2021. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
A key feature of the opportunity is that any CIL funded through this program must, at minimum, deliver the required core independent living services. These core services include information and referral (helping individuals connect to relevant programs, benefits, and community resources); independent living skills training (building practical skills for living independently, such as budgeting, navigating services, self-advocacy, or accessible housing planning); peer counseling (support and mentoring provided by people with lived experience of disability); and both individual and systems advocacy (helping individuals resolve barriers while also working to improve policies and systems that affect disability access and rights). In addition, funded centers must provide services that support people transitioning from nursing homes and other institutions back into the community, assist individuals who are at risk of institutionalization to remain in the community, and help youth with disabilities transition into postsecondary life, which can include employment, education, and independent adult living.
Overall, this grant opportunity is designed to fill a critical service gap by establishing a dedicated independent living center in Guam that can deliver the full set of required CIL services, strengthen community-based alternatives to institutional care, and support people with disabilities across major life transitions through a locally rooted, consumer-driven nonprofit model.Apply for HHS 2021 ACL AOD IL 0079
