FMR is an Iowa-based interior design and architecture firm committed to problem solving for people with disabilities in residential and work environments. Each kit contains a blueprint of plans, a list of the necessary hardware and lumber required, and a construction guide. FMR is also working on a collection of accessible housing designs, which will be offered through Menards stores later this year. Ramp kits are also available directly from FMR in Des Moines, Iowa.

The property tax credit or rent reimbursement is based on your annual household income and is figured according to a formula set by the Iowa Department of Revenue and Finance. The payment you will get depends on how much funding the state puts in the program. In addition to being 65 or older, or having a disability, you must be a current Iowa resident and you must have lived in the state for the entire year for which you are applying. All eligibility criteria must have been met on December 31st of that year. Qualified households must then apply between January 1st and June 1st of the following year.
