Disability Grant Assistance and Resources in New Jersey

As anyone who has every shopped for one can tell you, handicap vans are more expensive than normal vehicles. The additional costs of conversion and adaptive technologies often make the prices too steep for many New Jersey residents with disabilities.

However, there are resources for handicap van financing in New Jersey. Below you will find a listing of non-profit and government organizations that are dedicated to helping people with disabilities in New Jersey.

If you have any questions or are interested in a resource that isn’t listed, contact MobilityWorks today.
