For Property Owners
Home Modification Loan Program
Home Modification Loan Program is state-funded loan programs that can help MA residents live more independently at home by providing loans for access and safety modifications for elders and persons with disabilities and families with children with physical and/or cognitive disabilities. These modifications allow people to remain in their homes and live independently in their communities. Typical modifications include installation of ramps and lifts, widening of doorways, and alteration of kitchens and bathrooms.
Who is eligible?
Any homeowner, who has a disability, has a household member who has a disability, or rents to an individual with a disability may apply for a loan. Income guidelines are based on the total household gross income of the homeowner.
The home requiring modifications must be the primary, principal residence of the individual with a disability. Modifications must be necessary to allow the beneficiary to remain in the home.
