President Barack Obama recently announced the federal budget for the next fiscal year, which includes spending adjustments to programs for people with disabilities.
Obama's budget for Fiscal Year 2011, which begins in October, totals $3.8 trillion. It includes increases for special education, vocational training and independent living programs. The budget also calls for the consolidation of several funding streams.
The budget proposes to alter the way that independent living centers are funded and establishes a "Grants for Independent Living" program that would pool funding for Centers for Independent Living and Statewide Independent Living Councils.
