Low Interest Loan Program

The Idaho Assistive Technology Loan Program is a consumer-directed program funded by both private and public money that is designed to help Idahoans obtain and use the assistive technology they need. The program has been in existence since 1994, thanks to the combined efforts of private individuals, the Idaho Assistive Technology Project, Idaho area banks and the Idaho Community Foundation. They have come together to provide low-interest loans to Idaho citizens with disabilities to purchase assistive technology.

BENEFITS:

*Vehicle loans are not covered under the present loan plan, but modifications to the vehicle for assistive purposes can be covered by the loan program. Vehicle loan amounts based on KeyBank/Zions Bank traditional auto loan programs.
