Help America Vote Act Programs | ACL Administration for Community Living Fact Sheet (PDF, 352KB) | HAVA (P. L. 107–252) (PDF, 204KB) Help America Vote Act (HAVA) programs are designed to establish and improve participation in the election process for individuals with the full range of disabilities.
Signed into law on October 29, 2002, HAVA assigns responsibility for the administration of the law’s disability provisions (Sections 261 and 291) to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, who delegated the responsibility to ACL. Currently, funding is awarded to eligible Protection and Advocacy Systems (P&As) under Section 291, as well as entities providing training and technical assistance to P&As.
In previous years, HAVA funds allocated under Section 261 were also awarded to the Secretary of State or Chief Election Official in each eligible state or territory.
Improving Voting Accessibility HAVA grantees make polling places accessible for individuals with disabilities (including path of travel, entrances, exits, and voting areas), provide information on the location of accessible polling places, and adopt voting procedures that enable these individuals to vote privately and independently.
Grantees also educate election officials, poll workers, and election volunteers on the rights of voters with disabilities and best practices in working with them. P&As provide assistance to state and other government entities by surveying polling places, identifying potential modifications to make specific polling places accessible, and developing criteria for identifying accessible polling places.
Ensuring Full Participation in the Electoral Process In each eligible state and territory, P&As work to ensure that individuals with disabilities have the opportunity to participate in every step of the voting process. P&As educate individuals about voter registration and their legal rights pertaining to voting, provide voter registration opportunities, and help individuals access the polls on Election Day.
Individuals interested in filing complaints may also be assisted and represented by the P&As. Providing Training and Technical Assistance to Protection and Advocacy Systems Eligible nonprofit organizations receive discretionary grants to assist P&As in developing proficiency in the use of voting systems and technologies for individuals with disabilities and demonstrating and evaluating the use of such systems and technologies.
P&As also receive training and technical assistance for providing non-visual access in the voting process. These grants are authorized under section 291 of HAVA as a 7% set-aside of the total appropriation for P&As. After receiving training and technical assistance, P&As may inform others on the availability of accessible voting equipment and its use.

Improving Veteran Mental Health Grant Program is a grant from The Cigna Group Foundation that funds nonprofits providing housing stability and wraparound support services to improve the mental health of military veterans. The Foundation committed $9 million over three years addressing housing instability and its mental health impacts, as an estimated 40,000 veterans go without shelter nightly and 1.5 million are at risk of homelessness. Funded programs include mortgage and rental assistance, employment re-entry training, and housing development for veterans. Eligible nonprofits must leverage evidence-informed programs and align with at least one goal: increasing permanent housing, improving housing affordability, or enhancing wraparound services for veterans transitioning from shelters.
The HHS Grants Policy Statement that took effect October 1, 2025 raised the micro-purchase threshold to $50,000, the single audit threshold to $1 million, and the de minimis indirect cost rate to 15 percent — quietly rewriting the operational rules for tens of billions of dollars in annual awards. Combined with full 2 CFR Parts 200 and 300 adoption and new MAHA-aligned program priorities, it is the biggest compliance shift for health grantees since Uniform Guidance arrived in 2013.
