Accessibility
This program has been a part of the grants cycle to equitably distribute resources. With a new accessibility program we hope to access additional funds, making this a program separate from grants. We are now posting available programs and grants from government agencies and other NGO’s specifically related to land and accessibility. We need more resource listings for programs that are rural or available to rural people especially in non-farming occupations.
