Grants for Wheelchair Accessible Vans in Arkansas

Financial Resources for Funding a Handicap Van in Arkansas

Paying to lease or purchase a wheelchair van may seem overwhelming. The same often holds true even when you only want to add accessibility or adaptive driving conversions to a vehicle. Don’t worry; there are lots of Arkansas disability grants and plenty of assistance finding them if you know where to look. At The Mobility Resource, we want to help, too.

We’ve dug up and compiled the resources below. They include Arkansas State departments and other groups that either provide financial aid or guide you toward useful funding options, or both. Make contact with these organizations to discover all the monetary assistance you or your loved one with limited mobility might qualify for.

Also, don’t overlook Arkansas offices of national nonprofits and other bodies that aid people with your specific disability. Many award disability grants and they can all steer you toward additional funding.

Mobility Consultations: If you are unsure about what type of conversion would be best for you — or would like assistance with finding financial resources, you can request a Free Needs Analysis and Mobility Consultation at any of The Mobility Resource dealer locations.
