Access to Home for Heroes | Homes and Community Renewal Access to Home for Heroes Access to Home for Heroes The Access to Home for Heroes Program provides financial assistance to make accessibility modifications, emergency home repairs or address code violations to the primary residences of low- and moderate-income veterans with disabilities.
Such activities will enable veterans with disabilities to live in their residences safely and comfortably, rather than in an institutional setting. Eligible veterans may be renters or homeowners, with service-related injuries, age, or health related disabilities.
Eligible applicants for the Access to Home for Heroes Program are units of local government and organizations incorporated under the New York State Not-For-Profit Corporation Law, that have been providing relevant service to the community for at least one year prior to application. An eligible participant must meet the following criteria: Qualifying Veteran status. Documented substantial physical limitation caused by a disability.
Household income not to exceed 120 percent of area median income. The assisted residential unit must be the primary, permanent residence of the eligible participant. The primary residence may be owner-occupied or a rental unit.
Applicants proposing to assist rental units must ensure that the property owner is not otherwise obligated by federal, State or local law to provide such improvements. Funding may be used to provide financial assistance to make accessibility modifications, emergency home repairs or address code violations to the primary residences of low- and moderate-income veterans with disabilities.
Eligible activities must further the goal of enabling veterans with disabilities to live in their residences safely and comfortably, rather than in an institutional setting. Examples of accessibility modifications may include wheelchair ramps and lifts, handrails, doorway widening, and roll-in showers.
