The Most Convenient Ways to Acquire Funds for a Wheelchair Van
If you need an accessible van for yourself or someone you know with a disability, you don’t have to worry about trying to cover the costs alone. Our mobility specialists can help you get financial assistance as you’re planning to purchase a wheelchair van.
State Grants
Different states have different grant programs for people with disabilities looking for a mobility vehicle. New York organizations that award disability grants include the New York DDPC, ACCES-VR, the OTDA, as well as others. We’ll help guide you to the right one for your situation.
Veterans Affairs Auto Assistance Program
The Veterans Affairs Auto Assistance Program was created for former military service members. If you qualify for a one-time grant, you could get up to $20,000 for a wheelchair van. This valuable grant covers installation, replacement, and repair costs. To learn more, contact a regional VA medical center.
PASS Program
Those on Social Security Disability Income (SSI) can and should take advantage of the PASS Program. The PASS Program stands for Plan to Achieve Self Success. This organization is designed to provide resources to help individuals reach a predetermined goal. An example might include setting a goal to buy a mobility vehicle for transportation to work or school. Through the program, the car payment would be paid every month.

The Special Kids Fund
The Special Kids Fund helps families with a disabled child get an accessible van. However, there are very strict requirements. You are eligible if you can prove that: 1) You have no other way to buy a mobility van; 2) You have insurance; 3) You have no driving violations; and 4) You can legally register a mobility van. If you meet these requirements, you can fill out an application at specialkidsfund.org.
Thanks to state programs, government funds, charitable organizations, and special financing options, you can afford a wheelchair van. If you want to finance an accessible minivan, a full-size mobility vehicle, an accessible SUV, or a wheelchair lift, the mobility specialists at Bussani Mobility can help.
