Program details
How it works
The Kingsport Alliance for Housing Revitalization (KAHR) offers the R.A.M.P. (Ramp Access Made Possible) program and uses volunteer labor from First Broad Street UMC to assemble wheelchair access ramps at seniors’ homes. The city says Community Development uses CDBG funds to purchase the materials needed to build the ramps, so the ramps are free to the homeowner.
What the money covers
The official FAQ describes the program as funding the materials for wheelchair access ramps. It does not describe a cash payment to the homeowner; instead, the city pays for the materials and volunteers provide labor.

Homeowners apply through the City of Kingsport Community Development Office as part of the KAHR program process.
Timing and deadlines
