Livable Home Modification Grant Program will assist mobility-impaired individuals

I am writing to you today to request your support of Bill H148 asking the Commonwealth to establish a Livable Home Modification Grant Program. This Grant Program, if approved and funded, will serve to assist qualifying mobility-impaired Massachusetts residents to obtain funding for necessary modifications and equipment that will enable them to live in safe, accessible homes and avoid injuries, hospital stays, and the need to move to a long-term care facility.

Eliminating barriers in the home will also help to lower the number of patients being readmitted to hospitals and nursing homes. The grant would reimburse half the cost of necessary home modifications up to $5,000.
