Accessible Home Modification Program (HomeMod Program) : City of Chicago's Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities (MOPD)

Posted on 7:59 AM by Unknown


Sponsored by the Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities (MOPD), the HomeMod Program will allow people with disabilities, who are under the age of sixty, to receive home modifications that make their living environment accessible. Typical alterations include kitchen and bathroom modifications and the addition of interior and exterior lifts and ramps. Specific modifications can include the installation of grab bars, lowering cabinets and countertops and widening doorways. Subsequent work may include, but is not limited to, plumbing, electrical, carpentry, masonry, dry walling, tiling and painting.

All services will be performed in accordance with federal, state and municipal accessibility legal requirements. Modifications are limited to a maximum of $10,000 per project and are performed by licensed, insured and experienced home remodeling companies.

The Application Process:
The HomeMod Program application period is open between October 1st through January 15th yearly for eligible clients between the ages of 0-59.
Applications are not available prior to October 1st.

To be placed on an advance mailing list for an application when the application opens on October 1st, please contact MOPD by calling 311.
