The changes are made to allow a person to move around more freely in the home. An example of a home modification is the installation of a wheelchair ramp. Modifications are made to permanent residences only. Also, funds are used only when no other funding source is available or when there is not enough money from another source to pay for the needed modifications.
Public funding means that the program is paid for, in part or in whole, by the government.
Some publicly-funded programs have eligibility requirements and provide services at low cost or no cost to people who qualify. For more information, please see the Sources of Funding section of this web site. We hope that you find what you're looking for.
