The FY2027 President's Budget requests $33.3M for Independent living services for older blind individuals (RA VII, Chapter 2), within Education's Rehabilitation Services account. That is up 0.0% on the FY2025 figure of $33.3M, which is the enacted appropriation.
FY2025–FY2027
| Fiscal year | Basis | Amount |

| FY2025 | enacted | $33.3M |
| FY2027 | request | $33.3M |
Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
Education discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Education's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
Provides grants to state vocational rehabilitation agencies for independent living services to individuals aged 55 and older with severe visual impairment, helping them adjust to blindness and live independently.
Extracted from Rehabilitation Services, p. 59. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
