Home ACCESSIBILITY Program

GROWTH is administers the Home Accessibility Program (HAP) funds that provides grants to low-to-moderate income seniors and disabled residents in order to make homes safer and more accessible. This, in turn, helps prevent unnecessary and premature nursing home placement while allowing individuals to age at home.

Grant funds can assist with home modifications and repairs, provided in many different forms and may include the addition of walk-in showers, installation of wheelchair ramps, fixing leaky roofs, and remodeling hallways and flooring for wheelchair access and more. 

GROWTH was awarded these grant funds through the Illinois Housing Development Authority (IHDA).
