**CIL CARES ACT PERFORMANCE REPORT**

**for**

**CENTERS FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING PROGRAM**

**(Title VII, Chapter 1, Subchapter C of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended)**

**General Instructions**

1. CILs are required to submit two CIL CARES Act (CCA) annual program performance reports (CCA PPR). The first CCA PPR covered the period from January 20, 2020 through September 29, 2020. The second CCA PPR will cover the period from September 30, 2020 through September 29, 2021.

2. The first CCA PPR was due December 31, 2020, and the second CCA PPR will be due December 31, 2021.

3. All data reported on the CCA PPR should contain only activities funded by the CIL CARES Act. The annual CIL PPR will capture all non-CARES Act activities. ACL recognizes that braided funding may result in some duplication of data with the annual CIL PPR.  Documentation to support CCA activities must be available upon request.

4. ACL understands that it may be difficult to complete some data fields in the CCA PPR.  It is ACL’s expectation that the CILs practice due diligence to acquire data requested and to otherwise document when data is unavailable.

5. You may not have data for all of the data fields in the CCA PPR.  A “non-applicable” (“N/A”) response is appropriate in any field that does not apply to your CIL.

6. The CCA PPR mirrors some, but not all, sections and data fields of the CIL PPR.  Only sections relevant to the CIL CARES Act funds have been identified and included in the CCA PPR.  As a result, numbering appears out of sequence on the CCA PPR.  This is intentional.

7. Unless otherwise indicated, instructions and guidance provided for the CIL PPR apply to the CCA PPR.

8. CCA PPRs will be uploaded by the grantee into GrantSolutions as a Grant Note in each respective CCA award file. The CCA PPR grant notes are to be entered as follows –

1) **Subject Line**: CIL CARES Act PPR FY 2021

2) **Notes Type**: Correspondence

3) **Category Type**: Annual Performance Report.

4) **Notes**: CIL CARES Act PPR FY 2021
