The FY 2027 request for Aging and Disability Services The FY 2027 request for Aging and Disability Services Programs funds most programs at the FY 2026 President's Budget level. Funding for the Paralysis Resource Center, the Limb Loss Resource Center, Voting Access for People with Disabilities, University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities, and Projects of National Significance is eliminated, but the Budget provides additional funding to the Independent Living program for states to have the flexibility to continue providing the services supported by these programs.
