Alternative Financing Programs (AFPs) are federally-funded programs which provide affordable financing options for the purchase of assistive technology devices and services. There are 36 AFPs in the United States and territories.

There are 8 states (including California) that have financing programs similar to an AFP but that are funded differently.

CFILC sponsored legislation SB 418 in 2005 that made changes to California’s Loan Guarentee Program, it lightened administrative burden on applicants and set DOR up to become the AFP.

Despite years of seeking a lending partner LGP, is still without a lender.

In 2012, DOR decided to support CFILC in applying for the AFP.
