Alternative Finance Program
IPAT contracts with the IowAble Foundation to offer three financial services to individuals to pay for assistive technologies or home modifications:
 
Alternative Financing Program - offers low interest loans to buy needed assistive technology that help them live, work and learn more independently. 
 
Access to Telework Fund Program - offers low interest loans or a guaranty loan to Iowans with disabilities who would like an employment outcome.
 
Credit Builder Loan Program - assists individuals who apply for credit but are not approved due to poor or no credit. Qualified applicants will be provided with a class (online and in small groups) and then will be provided with small loans of $500. 
 
Applications are available on-line to fill out or print.
