Project CARAT (Coordinating & Assisting the Reuse of Assistive Technology) supports the reuse of assistive technology that is no longer needed or used by its original owner and is acquired by a new owner at no cost.

The goal of Project CARAT is to make Assistive Technology and Durable Medical Equipment more accessible to those who need it in underserved areas of Kentucky. In order to make this happen, Project CARAT is partnering with agencies across the state. We take donated equipment, clean it, make repairs if we need to, and then redistribute it to people who need it. If you live in Kentucky and have a need for equipment, or have equipment you’d like to donate, please let us know.
To date, project CARAT has provided 3,107 assistive technology/durable medical equipment items valued at over $689,059 to 1,235 individuals with disabilities
Our inventory of equipment is dependent on what has been donated to us and changes daily. To see what items we currently have available, visit the KY AT Locator website or contact the CARAT site nearest you.
