Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2022 ACL AOD IL 0013
The Centers for Independent Living Competition - Guam (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2022 ACL AOD IL 0013) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Community Living (ACL), focused on expanding independent living supports for people with disabilities on Guam. ACL plans to fund the establishment of one new Center for Independent Living (CIL) to strengthen the local network of independent living services and improve access to community-based supports that help individuals live with greater choice, control, and self-determination. The program is listed under CFDA 93.432 and falls within the broader activity area of Income Security and Social Services.
The grant is designed to create a single, community-based center that delivers a set of required independent living services. At a minimum, the funded center must provide the core CIL services that form the backbone of the national CIL model: information and referral to connect people to services and resources; independent living skills training to build practical skills for living in the community; peer counseling to provide support and problem-solving from others with lived experience of disability; individual and systems advocacy to help people address personal barriers while also improving policies and practices that affect the disability community; and transition-related services that help people move out of nursing homes or other institutions into community living, help individuals who are at risk of institutionalization remain in the community, and support youth with disabilities as they transition into postsecondary life (such as higher education, employment, and independent adulthood).
Funding for this competition is intended to establish and operate the center, with an estimated total award amount of $110,326 and an award ceiling of $110,326. ACL expects to make one award, meaning applicants are competing to be selected as the sole new CIL funded under this opportunity for Guam. The limited number of awards makes this a targeted investment aimed at building or reinforcing the independent living infrastructure in the territory rather than funding multiple providers.
Eligibility includes nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), along with certain other eligible applicants as referenced in the opportunitys additional eligibility information. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by the published deadline of June 13, 2022, no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Overall, the opportunity is focused on ensuring that people with disabilities in Guam have access to essential independent living supports, including direct services and advocacy, with a strong emphasis on preventing unnecessary institutionalization and supporting successful transitions to community and postsecondary life.Apply for HHS 2022 ACL AOD IL 0013
