Abstract: The Independent Living Services (ILS) program provides financial assistance, through formula grants, to states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and the US Virgin Islands for expanding, and improving the provision of, IL services. The Designated State Entity (DSE) is the agency that, on behalf of the state, receives, accounts for, and disburses funds received under Part B of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. Funds are also made available for the provision of training and technical assistance to Statewide Independent Living Councils (SILCs). The Act requires three IL program reports: (1) State Plan for Independent Living (SPIL), (2) ILS Program Performance Report (PPR), and (3) Center for Independent Living (CIL) PPR. This request is for the ILS PPR, which is submitted annually by the SILC and DSE in every state that receives Part B funds. The ILS PPRs are used by ACL to assess grantees’ compliance with title VII of the Act, with 45 CFR part 1329 of the Code of Federal Regulations, and with applicable provisions of the HHS Regulations at 45 CFR part 75. The ILS PPR serves as the primary basis for ACL monitoring activities in fulfillment of its responsibilities under sections 706 and 722 of the Act. The PPR is also used by ACL to design CIL and SILC training and technical assistance programs authorized by section 721 of the Act.
