Empowering Accessibility & Essential Support for Veterans
Accessibility Empowerment
Government Relations and Advocacy
The Paralyzed Veterans of America Florida Chapter plays a key role in advocating for accessible building codes and ensuring compliance with state and federal accessibility standards. Our team works closely with local, state, and federal officials to provide consultation on enforcing the ADA and updating building codes to better serve individuals with disabilities. We assist architects, building officials, and consumers with technical support, ensuring that public and private spaces meet the necessary accessibility criteria, and we offer educational seminars to raise awareness about the importance of inclusive design.
Essential Support
Equipment Loaner Program
In addition to our advocacy efforts, we also run an Equipment Loaner Program, designed to provide veterans with essential mobility aids and medical supplies. Through this program, veterans can borrow the following items:
- Quad & Regular Cane
- Folding Walkers
- Wheelchairs
- Various Cushions
- Various Medical Supplies
The program ensures veterans have access to essential resources for daily living and encourages equipment donations to further support them. For more information or to donate, please contact Veronica Pereira.
