PENNSYLVANIA DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES COUNCIL (PADDC) REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS

We are pleased to announce that the first Request for Application (RFA) book for 2022–2026 State Plan is now available for you to download, which includes 13 separate grant opportunities. The deadline to submit applications for these grants is December 1, 2021. Visit here to read more and download the RFA book and other application resources.

Public forums have been scheduled throughout September and October 2019 in various locations throughout Pennsylvania in order to receive input about the issues that matter most to Pennsylvanians with disabilities and their families. Written comments can also be submitted by October 4, 2019.  Comments can be submitted to: Pennsylvania Disabilities Council, 2330 Vartan Way, Suite 130, Harrisburg, PA 17110 — Attn: Listening Tour, or via email.

Specifically, they would like to hear your ideas about:

  • The disability and social issues they should pursue to better support people with disabilities and their families and provide information and education for all Pennsylvanians.
  • How they can ensure that civil and human rights of people with disabilities are protected.
  • The training opportunities they should make available for people with disabilities and family members, for people who provide supports, and the general community.
  • The research needed in Pennsylvania to guide policy; improve services, supports, systems, and communities; and ensure civil and human rights.

These listening sessions are extremely important as the feedback received from stakeholders will guide development of the 2022–2026 Five-Year State Plan. For dates and locations of the sessions, please see the announcement.
