Program details
How it works
The Architectural Accessibility Program is a grant program that helps qualified household members safely function in their home and enter and exit the home safely. The county says it is administered by New Castle County with funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
What the money covers
The brochure says the program is limited to items such as:
- installation of an access ramp
- widening of doorways
- installation of grab bars
The 2024 guide also says the program can be used to install a ramp, grab bars, or other small modifications that are medically necessary.
Amounts and limits
The 2024 county guide says funding availability per home is from $500 to $5,000. Funding is limited per fiscal year and is first come, first served.
How to apply
The county directs homeowners to contact the Department of Community Services for more information. The brochure gives a phone number for the division, and says work requires written verification of medical necessity.
