Loan Programs Administered by the Rehabilitation Services Administration
(RSA):

The Kentucky Assistive Technology Loan Corporation (KATLC) offers low
interest loans for qualified applicants with disabilities who need assistive
technology.  Working with its lending partner, Fifth Third Bank of Kentucky,
KATLC can provide loans for modified vehicles, hearing aids, adapted
computers, mobility devices, augmentative communication devices or any other
type of equipment or home modification that will improve the quality of life
or increase the independence of Kentuckians with disabilities.  Established
by state statute in 1996, KATLC is governed by a seven-member Board of
Directors, four of whom must have disabilities, that reviews all
applications.  KATLC made its first loan in the summer of 2000 and now has
provided more than $4 million in loans to Kentuckians with disabilities to
enable them to get the assistive technology they need, making it one of the
most active assistive technology alternative financing programs in the
nation.  The Kentucky Office of Vocational Rehabilitation currently provides
the staff support to the Board and KATLC.
