Home Access and Critical Repair Grants

How it works

Clackamas County says the process is straightforward: contact the office for an application, the county processes the application and determines eligibility, and if you qualify a Rehab Advisor inspects the property to identify needed repairs. After that, you request bids from contractors of your choice, and the Rehab Advisor assists through the bidding and construction process. The page also notes that a list of interested contractors is available for convenience.

Home Access Grant

This grant provides up to $5,000 for needed access or safety improvements. The page says renters and homeowners qualify, and all dwelling units qualify, including mobile homes and apartments. Examples of eligible improvements include wheelchair ramps, handrails and widened doorways, bathroom accessibility improvements such as raised toilets and grab bars, and kitchen accessibility improvements.

Critical Repair Grant

This grant provides up to $5,000 for repair of safety or access deficiencies, primarily for exterior elements of manufactured homes or mobile homes. Examples of eligible improvements include leaking roofs, faulty plumbing connections, and faulty wiring or electrical connections.

Amounts and matching

Both programs are described as grants up to $5,000. The page does not mention any required matching funds or cost share.

How to apply

The county says to contact them at 503-742-4322 for an application. The office address shown on the page is 150 Beavercreek Road, Room #325, Oregon City, OR 97045. Office hours are Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Friday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., with availability by phone/email.

Timing and deadlines

The page lists annual income limits dated June 1, 2026. No application deadline, opening date, closing date, or waitlist status is stated on the page.

Notes for homeowners

The county says health and safety items are a priority during the repair review. The page also makes clear that the two grants have different eligibility rules: Home Access Grants are for renters or homeowners in the North Clackamas Revitalization Area who have a documented physical disability, while Critical Repair Grants are for owners of manufactured homes or mobile homes who do not have title to the land under the home.
