The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), through its Older Adults Home Modification Grant Program (CFDA 14.921), awarded a $1,003,667 Cooperative Agreement to Lucky Shoals Community Association, Inc., a non-profit organization located in Tucker, Georgia. The purpose of this grant is to assist experienced nonprofit organizations, state and local governments, and public housing authorities in undertaking comprehensive programs that make safety and functional home modifications and repairs to meet the needs of low-income elderly homeowners. The grant will enable Lucky Shoals Community Association to deliver home modification services to more than 1,900 senior families in both urban communities and communities with substantial rural populations. The goal is to enable low-income elderly persons to remain in their homes by reducing fall risk, improving general safety, increasing accessibility, and enhancing functional abilities through low-cost, high-impact home modifications such as the installation of grab bars, railings, lever-handled doorknobs, adaptive equipment, and other accessibility features. This will enable older adults to "age in place" rather than move to nursing homes or other assisted care facilities.
