REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI)
Federal Title VII B
State Plan for Independent Living (SPIL) Priorities
INTRODUCTION:
The California Department of Rehabilitation (DOR) and the State Independent Living Council (SILC) will be releasing Federal funds under Title VII B of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, to meet goals, objectives, and activities as outlined in the 2011 - 2013 State Plan for Independent Living (SPIL). The current proposed funding amounts are as follows:- For July 2011 - June 2012; $290,000
- For July 2012 - June 2013; $270,000
In past years, the DOR released solicitations unique to each SPIL priority with specific funding amounts and in some cases would receive no responses, minimal responses, or higher than anticipated responses. The current SPIL priorities and associated resource plan were developed with community input in 2010.
Through this Request for Information (RFI), the DOR and SILC are seeking information to identify appropriate funding levels consistent with the interest of the Independent Living (IL) Network among the four (4) SPIL priorities identified below.
Priorities articulated in the SPIL include -
Attachment A - Develop a housing report and advocacy plan.
Attachment B - Develop a report on best practices for employment outcomes and work to strengthen the capacity of the IL Network to provide employment services.
Attachment C - Develop best practices in IL Network leadership.
Attachment D - Analyze Independent Living Center's Diversity Plans and develop a report and tools to increase capacity to serve unserved and underrepresented communities.
Details on each of the four SPIL priorities including goals, objectives, and activities are listed below in Section III Description of Goals from the 2011-2013 SPIL, Attachments A - D. The full version of the SPIL is available on the Internet at http://www.calsilc.org/spil.html.
Responses to this RFI will assist DOR and the SILC in developing the scope of work and to identify appropriate funding levels for future solicitations to be released later this year. Note: Providing a response to this RFI does not guarantee funding to a particular or proposed concept/activity but will help to ensure that the solicitation is aligned with current priorities and capacity of the IL Network. Interested parties that choose not to respond to this RFI will still be eligible to apply for funding when the Request for Application solicitation is released.
Responses must be received by 5:00pm on November 21, 2011 to be considered when drafting the solicitation for funding. Send your response to ilgrants@dor.ca.gov.
