To better serve Illinoisans with disabilities, the Illinois Department of Human Services, Division of Rehabilitation Services, together with the Illinois Assistive Technology Program, Centers for Independent Living and the Illinois Network of Centers for Independent Living, have joined forces to offer the ILoan Program.

The ILoan Program provides loans to Illinois residents with disabilities and/or their families or other authorized representatives on behalf of the person with a disability to purchase assistive technology devices and services and limited home modifications. The ILoan Program also provides loans to Illinois residents with disabilities, 18 years and older to purchase equipment, services, and limited home modifications for self-employment and telework.

The interest rate for an ILoan ranges from 5.5 percent to 7.5 percent based on the term of the loan. This rate is fixed for the term of the loan. Loan amounts range from $500 to $25,000.

The ILoan Program is funded by the Illinois Department of Human Services, Division of Rehabilitation Services through grants from the U.S. Department of Education, NIDRR CFDA 84.224C and RSA CFDA 84.235T.
