Deadline: 24-Apr-23
The Administration for Community Living is now seeking applications for its Centers for Independent Living Competition to maximize the independence, well-being, and health of older adults, people with disabilities across the lifespan, their families, and their support networks.
The Administration for Community Living was created around the fundamental principle that older adults and people of all ages with disabilities should be able to live where they choose, with the people they choose, and with the ability to participate fully in their communities. By funding services and supports provided by networks of community-based organizations and with investments in research, education, and innovation, ACL helps make this principle a reality for millions of Americans.
