Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2024 ACL AOD IL 0100
The Centers for Independent Living Competition - Guam is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Community Living (ACL), to establish one new Center for Independent Living (CIL) in Guam. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the recipient should expect an ongoing, collaborative relationship with ACL that typically includes federal involvement in monitoring, guidance, and performance expectations beyond what is common in a standard grant.
ACL plans to make one award, with an estimated award ceiling and total available funding of $110,326 to support the startup and operation of a Guam-based CIL that strengthens the broader national network of centers for independent living. The purpose is to expand and improve independent living services so people with disabilities can live with greater autonomy, participate fully in community life, and avoid unnecessary institutionalization whenever possible.
At a minimum, the funded center must deliver the program's required core independent living services. These include information and referral to help individuals understand and access available community resources; independent living skills training to build practical skills for day-to-day life and self-direction; peer counseling, which emphasizes support and guidance from people with lived disability experience; individual and systems advocacy to address both personal service barriers and broader policy or access issues in the community; and transition-related services. Those transition services must cover assisting people moving from nursing homes or other institutions back into the community, supporting individuals who are at risk of entering institutions to remain in community settings, and helping youth with disabilities transition into postsecondary life, which can include employment, education, training, and independent community living.
Eligible applicants are domestic private nonprofit entities, including organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), as well as a range of community-based nonprofits such as faith-based organizations, LGBT organizations, and Indian tribal organizations (American Indian/Alaskan Native/Native American) as long as they meet the applicable eligibility requirements for operating a CIL. Foreign entities are explicitly not eligible to apply for or receive an award under this announcement.
The notice also highlights a statutory contingency under Section 724 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973: if no private nonprofit submits an acceptable application, a State agency may apply to operate the CIL. If a State agency is funded under that circumstance, it may continue receiving yearly funding only as long as there are still no nonprofit private agencies submitting acceptable applications in response to the posted CIL competition in future cycles.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number HHS-2024-ACL-AOD-IL-0100 and CFDA number 93.432, with the opportunity categorized under Income Security and Social Services.
