Making Homes Accessible

"A conditional block grant program to help low to moderate income people with disabilities to make their homes accessible."

Making homes Accessible will assist low and moderate income home owners with disabilities to make renovations necessary to meet city codes and standards to protect the health, safety and general welfare of the occupants. This project is for the purpose of making home accessibility modifications to allow a home owner with a disability to stay in his/her home and prevent the increased cost of premature institutionalization. This allows the home owner to continue to invest in the maintenance and upkeep of his/her home, and therefore continue to make a positive contribution to the neighborhood in which they live, as well as to their individual quality of life.
