Providing Low Income Older Adults with Minor Home Modifications to Age in Place
The Older Adults Home Modification program (OAHMP) enables low-income older adults to remain in their homes through an assessment by an Occupational Therapist or a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist and low-cost, high-impact home modifications to help prevent falls related injuries, improve accessibility, and promote independence.
The goal is to empower low-income, high need older adults to “age in place”—to live safely and comfortably in their own homes, rather than move into nursing homes or assisted living facilities.

- Your total household income based on family size is below the maximum limit listed below.
