The Florida Association of Centers for Independent Living (FACIL) is still accepting applications for the James Patrick Memorial Work Incentive Personal Assistant Services program (JPPAS)! The JPPAS program provides monthly stipends to qualified Floridians with disabilities who require personal assistance services for daily living.

Read Christina’s comment below about how JPPAS has helped her achieve her career goals!

“I cannot say enough about how JPPAS has impacted my life in the most positive ways. The ability to employ an assistant to support me in my daily work activities has enabled me not only to work a 40-hour week, but to excel and achieve a promotion to a supervisor position. As supervisor, it is not only being up and working at your desk, but also attending conferences, trainings, and outreach functions. In the past I would have to request accommodation and pass on many activities, but with JPPAS those days are in the past.”
