How it works
Loans of up to $50,000 are available for families and caregivers of people with developmental disabilities to modify their homes in order to support their needs and continue living with their families. Funds cover the costs for adaptations, including the installation of ramps, modifications of bathrooms, installation of lifts, or other equipment purchases
