State Financing Community of Practice
April 16 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm EDT
This Community of Practice focuses on the ins and outs of state financing activities, including but not limited to alternate financing (e.g., cash loan programs); device distribution programs; cooperative buying; and other strategies that help people acquire AT.
Subject: Alternative Financing Programs (AFP) Grantee Showcase

In this session, three AFP grantees — the Louisiana Assistive Technology Access Network (LATAN), Michigan Assistive Technology Loan Fund, and Florida Alliance for Assistive Services and Technology (FAAST) — will share highlights, outcomes, and lessons learned from their programs.
Participants: This CoP is open to all AT Act Program staff and subcontractors interested in State Financing Activities.
