Bill > H1502

This bill directs the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities to establish and operate a home modification assistance program for seniors and people with disabilities, subject to available funding. Specifically, the bill requires the office to create a program that will help eligible individuals make accessibility modifications to their primary residences, such as installing ramps, widening doorways, adding grab bars, or making other home improvements that enable safer and more independent living. The secretary of the executive office will be responsible for developing detailed rules and regulations that will outline the specific requirements and standards for participating in the program, including eligibility criteria, types of modifications covered, and application procedures. The goal of the legislation is to support aging and disabled residents by helping them adapt their homes to meet their changing physical needs, thereby allowing them to continue living independently and safely in their current residences.
