Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) State Partnership Grant at MassAbility

For over 20 years, MassAbility has received grant funds from the TBI State Partnership Grant Program.

This program, currently managed by the Administration of Community Living (ACL) and previously by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), provides funding to help states increase access to services and supports for individuals with TBI. These grants focus on enhancing statewide programs, screening and identification of brain injury, training and resource navigation to better meet the needs of individuals with TBI and their families.
