December 4th

2pm - 3pm

Home Modifications often go hand-in-hand with independence for someone with a disability. From structural modifications like ramps and grab bars to high tech solutions like smart home devices and remote monitoring- the right solutions can ensure greater access to home, community, and services!

Join us as we explore tax incentives & credits, get familiar with state & non profit programs to help cover the costs, and identify solutions that make homes live-able for longer!

What are Home Modifications?

Home modifications are adaptations to the living environment intended to increase ease of use, safety, security, and independence. Modifications can include:

• Changes or additions to the structure (e.g., widening doorways, adding a first-floor bathroom or a ramp)
• Installing special equipment (e.g., grab bars and handrails)
• Adjusting the location of items (e.g., moving furniture)
• Smart home technology, monitoring, and wayfinding supports

Home Modifications Directory

The Maryland Home Modifications Directory is updated annually and serves as a guide on home modification resources throughout the State of Maryland.

Ways to Pay for Home Modifications

The Assistive Technology Financial Loan Program helps Maryland residents with disabilities and their families qualify for lower-interest loans to buy equipment that will help them live, work, and learn more independently.

The ATLP can provide loans up to $20,000 for Home Modifications, including funding doorway widening, adapted bathrooms, ramps, stairlifts, and much more. To learn more about the loan program and eligibility, visit the AT Loan Program online.
