View Award Description

Hawai'i Alternative Financing Program (HAFP): Expanding Affordable Assistive Technology Financing for Individuals with Disabilities and Older Adults - The Assistive Technology Resource Centers of Hawaiʻi (ATRC) will expand the Hawaiʻi Alternative Financing Program (HAFP), a statewide low-interest loan program that helps older adults and individuals with disabilities purchase assistive technology (AT) they could not otherwise afford. Goal: Increase access to affordable, consumer-directed AT financing for Hawaiʻi residents of all ages, disability types, income levels, and residence locations. Objectives: (1) expand loan capacity and flexible underwriting through ATRC's existing lending partnership with American Savings Bank; (2) formalize coordinated referral and cost-sharing pathways with the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR); (3) strengthen consumer choice and control through financial counseling, credit-building assistance, and device demonstration services; and (4) expand outreach to rural, neighbor island, low-income, and older-adult residents facing the greatest economic and social need. Approach: ATRC will build on its established revolving loan fund and statewide AT infrastructure — device demonstrations, short-term device loans, and information and referral services — to help consumers make informed financing decisions, while formalizing partnerships with American Savings Bank, DVR, and the Statewide Independent Living Council (SILC) to streamline access and maximize resources. Outcomes: Increased number of individuals obtaining needed AT through financing; increased consumer choice and control over AT acquisition; and improved credit readiness among borrowers. Products: An expanded and sustainable AFP loan fund, updated financing policies and procedures, credit-building and financial counseling materials, and formal partnership agreements with ASB and DVR. Duration: One 12-month period of performance, September 1, 2026 – August 31, 2027.
