The Disability Services & Legal Center (DSLC) has been awarded a $1,250,000 Cooperative Agreement under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Older Adults Home Modification Grant Program (CFDA 14.921). This grant enables DSLC, an experienced non-profit organization, to deliver home modification services that enable low-income elderly homeowners to remain in their residences by reducing fall risks, improving safety and accessibility, and enhancing functional abilities. The program focuses on low-cost, high-impact modifications such as grab bars, railings, lever-handled fixtures, and adaptive equipment. DSLC will leverage the expertise of licensed occupational therapists to assess client needs and deliver these services to over 1,900 senior households, with at least half serving rural communities. This Cooperative Agreement award, effective January 24, 2025, supports DSLC's comprehensive approach to helping older adults "age in place" rather than transition to nursing homes or other assisted care facilities.
