Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2018 ACL AOD IL 0289
This grant opportunity, titled "Centers for Independent Living Competition - South Dakota" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2018-ACL-AOD-IL-0289; CFDA 93.432), is a discretionary grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Community Living (ACL). The purpose is to establish a new Center for Independent Living (CIL) in South Dakota that specifically serves people with disabilities living across all nine Native American reservations in the state. The driving need behind the competition is that there is currently no single CIL positioned to provide independent living services across all nine reservation communities, leaving a significant service gap for a population that often faces added barriers related to geography, access to providers, and availability of community-based supports.
The funded organization is expected to operate as a true Center for Independent Living as defined under Title VII of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (as amended). That means the applicant must be able to meet the standards and assurances laid out in Section 725, and the proposed service area must align with the design in the State Plan for Independent Living (SPIL) for building and maintaining a statewide network of centers. In practical terms, applicants should be ready to show they understand and can implement the CIL model: consumer-controlled and community-based, serving people across disability types (cross-disability), operating as a non-residential program, and being structured as a private nonprofit.
A key part of the grant is delivering the five required core independent living services. These are: information and referral (helping people find and connect to relevant services and supports), independent living skills training (building practical skills for living and participating in the community), peer counseling (support and mentoring from individuals with lived disability experience), individual and systems advocacy (helping people assert their rights while also addressing broader policy and access issues), and services that support transitions. Transition services explicitly include helping people move from nursing homes or other institutions back into the community, assisting individuals who are at risk of entering institutions to remain in community settings, and supporting youth with disabilities as they transition into postsecondary life (such as higher education, employment, and adult independence).
Beyond the required core services, the CIL funded through this opportunity is expected to use grant funds to support people with a range of significant disabilities and to produce measurable community impact across the reservations served. The notice outlines several major responsibilities for the new center: facilitating the development and achievement of individual independent living goals; working to increase both the availability and the quality of community options for independent living (for example, improving access to housing, transportation, personal assistance services, or other community supports); providing independent living services directly; conducting activities that build the capacity of communities in the service area to better meet the needs of individuals with significant disabilities; and carrying out resource development to secure additional funding beyond the grant. That last point signals that ACL is not only looking for a program that can start services, but also one that can strengthen long-term sustainability through partnerships and diversified funding.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. ACL anticipated making one award under this competition, with an award ceiling of $150,099. The opportunity was posted March 7, 2018, with an original closing date of May 7, 2018, and required electronic submission by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Overall, the competition is designed to create a reservation-serving independent living infrastructure where none currently exists at the scale required, using the established federal CIL framework to expand community-based, consumer-driven supports for Native American individuals with disabilities throughout South Dakota.Apply for HHS 2018 ACL AOD IL 0289
