North Carolina Council on Developmental Disabilities - NCCDD

The North Carolina Council on Developmental Disabilities (NCCDD) intends to fund an initiative to create systems change innovations that will expand transportation options for people with intellectual and other developmental disabilities (I/DD). These innovations will enable individuals with I/DD to have greater access to safe, reliable, affordable, and accessible transportation, thereby leading to greater independence and integration into their communities.

A Request for Applications (RFA) is the way the North Carolina Council on Developmental Disabilities (NCCDD) asks for proposals for initiatives that will help the Council achieve the goals outlined in its Five-Year State Plan. (https://www.nccdd.org/the-council/five-year-plan.html)

You will need to submit an application using a web-based system called DD Suite. (http://www.ddsuite.org)
