U.S. Department of the Treasury / State ABLE Programs
ABLE Accounts
ABLE (Achieving a Better Life Experience) accounts are tax-advantaged savings accounts that allow individuals with qualifying disabilities to save money without losing eligibility for federal means-tested benefits such as SSI and Medicaid, up to a $100,000 balance. Annual contributions up to the gift tax exclusion ($18,000 in 2024) can come from the account owner, family, and friends; withdrawals for qualified disability expenses (housing, education, transportation, health) are tax-free. Starting January 1, 2026, the age-of-onset limit expands from before age 26 to before age 46.
USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service
Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP)
ACEP helps landowners, land trusts, and other entities protect, restore, and enhance wetlands and preserve working agricultural lands through conservation easements. The program pays landowners fair market value for voluntarily limiting development and other uses that are incompatible with agricultural production or wetland conservation. Easements are permanent and run with the land regardless of future ownership.
USDA Rural Development
Agricultural Microenterprise Development Program
This program provides grants to microenterprise development organizations that support small agricultural businesses and farms with 10 or fewer employees in rural areas. Funds support technical assistance, training, and microloans for small farm operations and food-related rural microenterprises. Recipients must serve rural areas and demonstrate experience assisting agricultural microenterprises.
Administration for Community Living, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
Assistive Technology Act Programs
The Assistive Technology Act funds a program in every state and territory to increase access to assistive technology (AT) devices and services for individuals with disabilities of all ages and disability types. State AT programs offer device demonstration centers, short-term device loan programs, device reutilization programs that redistribute pre-owned equipment at little or no cost, and alternative financing programs with low-interest loans to help people purchase AT. No single application or income threshold applies nationally — services vary by state program.
USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture
Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program
BFRDP funds organizations to develop and offer education, mentoring, and technical assistance programs for beginning farmers and ranchers with 10 or fewer years of experience. Programs help new agricultural producers develop the skills, knowledge, and networks needed to establish and grow successful farm operations.

CCAMPIS supports low-income student parents in postsecondary education by funding campus-based child care subsidies and services at participating colleges and universities.

Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit
The Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit (CDCTC) is a federal tax credit for working taxpayers who pay for the care of a child under 13 or a disabled dependent so they can work or look for work. The credit equals 20–35% of qualifying care expenses up to $3,000 for one qualifying person or $6,000 for two or more, with the percentage decreasing as adjusted gross income rises. Qualifying expenses include payments to day care centers, after-school programs, babysitters, and summer day camps.
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF)
CCDF provides childcare subsidies to low-income working families to help cover the cost of quality care for children up to age 13, or up to age 19 for children with special needs. Families typically pay an income-based copayment while the subsidy covers the balance. Parents must be working, in school, or in job training.
USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service
Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP)
CSP rewards farmers and ranchers who maintain high levels of conservation performance and take on additional stewardship activities across their entire operation. Annual payments compensate producers for maintaining existing conservation systems and adopting new activities that address priority resource concerns. Contracts run for five years and are renewed based on continued performance.
U.S. Department of Defense
DoD Child Care Fee Assistance
The DoD Child Care Fee Assistance program subsidizes off-installation child care costs for active duty service members when space at on-base child development centers is unavailable. Subsidies reduce the cost of licensed civilian child care for dependent children from birth through age 12, with the level of assistance based on total family income. The program is administered by the National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies (NACCRRA) under contract with DoD.
U.S. Department of Energy
DOE Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP)
The Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) reduces energy costs for low-income households by increasing the energy efficiency of their homes, while ensuring their health and safety. Funded through the DOE, WAP provides services to approximately 35,000 homes per year. Services include insulation, air sealing, HVAC system upgrades, and health and safety improvements.

Like Head Start, it is delivered by local grantee organizations including community action agencies, nonprofits, and school districts through both center-based and home visiting models. The program serves approximately 150,000 children and families annually and supports continuous care into Head Start at age 3.
USDA Farm Service Agency
Emergency Livestock Assistance Program (ELAP)
ELAP provides emergency assistance to eligible livestock, honeybee, and farm-raised fish producers who suffer losses due to disasters not covered by other FSA programs.

Producers must report losses to their local FSA office within 30 days of the disaster.
U.S. Department of the Treasury
