Program details

How it works

Ontario County’s Office for the Aging describes the Home-Safe-Home Program as a home safety review geared toward fall prevention, plus minor home modifications for eligible residents. The county’s materials say the program can include installation of smoke detectors and other small repairs or safety upgrades.

What the money or services cover

The official county forum handout lists these example services:

  • Grab bars
  • Smoke detectors
  • Handrails for stairs
  • Door grips
  • Handicapped toilet seats
  • Tub transfer benches
  • Bathtub seats
  • Aluminum ramps, with installation assistance noted in county materials

Timing and deadlines

The official source does not state an application deadline, funding cap, or whether the service is currently waitlisted or closed. The public forum document is the county’s source for the program description, but it does not provide a detailed application process.

Notes for homeowners

This is not a wildfire-specific grant. It is a county home safety and minor modification service that may still help with disaster resilience in a limited way because it includes smoke detectors and basic home safety improvements.
