AT Equipment Loan & Reutilization Programs

California Assistive Technology Exchange (CATE) program is under way. California State University, Northridge (CSUN) is pleased to announce grants awarded to 10 Community Based Organizations (CBO’s).

This is an opportunity for two departments, the Center on Disabilities and the National Center on Deafness to lead the project: California Assistive Technology Exchange (CATE) to enhance the quality of life for persons with disabilities.

Under the grant, the university will manage three programs: an AT Device Loan Program (borrow-a-device) and an AT Loan Reutilization Program (a consumer web site, i.e., craigslist, to sell used equipment), which are both supported through federal grant funds. The third program is an AT and Transportation Loan Guarantee Program (funds for purchase), which is supported solely through state funds. The university will work with the 10 community-based organizations across the state to ensure that Californians with disabilities are informed about the programs and have access to them.
