Training and Technical Assistance for the Centers for Independent
Living Program; Notice Inviting Applications for a New Award for Fiscal

community-based, cross-disability, nonresidential private nonprofit
agency that is designed and operated within a local community by
individuals with disabilities and provides an array of independent
living services.
