What is a wheelchair van grant?

A wheelchair van grant is a financial assistance program that helps people buy or repair a wheelchair vehicle. These programs may also assist with expenses related to vehicle ownership.

How do I apply for a wheelchair van grant?

The process for applying for a grant varies depending on the organization you are working with. However, the United Access team is well-informed on this topic and can provide guidance and instructions to get started with the grant application process. Whether you need assistance with finding the right grants for your needs or navigating the application process, our knowledgeable team is here to help.

Why are wheelchair vans so expensive?

The cost of wheelchair vans is higher due to the extensive modifications required to make them accessible for individuals with disabilities. These modifications include installing ramps or lifts, lowering the vehicle's floor to create more interior space, and adding specialized securing systems for wheelchairs. These modifications involve engineering, design, and high-quality materials, which contribute to the overall cost. Wheelchair vans also need to meet specific safety standards, such as reinforced floors and anchorage systems, which can further increase the cost. The relatively small market for wheelchair vans compared to non-modified vehicles also results in higher production costs and lower economies of scale, adding to the higher price tag.

Help Our Military Heroes: Mobility Grants for Veterans

Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle Grants For Veterans

Help Our Military Heroes (HOMH) is a non-profit organization dedicated to delivering adapted, ramp-entry minivans, vans, and SUVs to our wounded, injured, and ill military heroes. Help Our Military Heroes was founded in response to the growing need for specialized transportation for wounded veterans returning home from service. Many of these heroes face physical challenges that make it difficult for them to drive a standard vehicle, limiting their independence and freedom. The program aims to alleviate this burden by providing adaptive vehicles and mobility equipment to help them regain their mobility and autonomy.

Help Our Military Heroes: Mission & Values

HOMH’s mission is to restore the mobility, freedom, and independence lost by veterans due to catastrophic wounds, injuries, and illnesses. The goal is to ensure that veterans receive the vehicles they need without any out-of-pocket expenses.

Since its inception, HOMH has awarded over 225 adaptive vehicle grants to deserving and inspiring service men and women. In 2019, the program expanded to include pre-Iraq and Afghanistan War Veterans. HOMH is proud to have assisted veterans from all branches of service, spanning every war and conflict going back to World War II.

How Help Our Military Heroes Works

Veterans interested in the program can apply online through the Help Our Military Heroes website. Once their application is received, the team will review it to determine eligibility. If approved, they work with the veteran to select and customize a vehicle or mobility equipment that meets their specific needs. All costs associated with the modifications are covered, providing a seamless and efficient process to get the heroes back on the road.

Help Our Military Heroes Grants for Veterans Eligibility

The program is open to any wounded veteran who has served in any branch of the military and has sustained a service-related injury that impacts their ability to drive a standard vehicle. Help Our Military Heroes is committed to supporting these individuals in their journey toward independence.
