Is there funding for accessibility needs or repairs for homes damaged by a disaster for people with disabilities?

Yes, funding for accessibility needs or home repairs may be available. During the application, you will be asked questions about your specific situation so FEMA can determine what types of assistance you are eligible for.

You may receive money to help with specific repairs to make sure your home is accessible, including:

• an exterior ramp
• bathroom grab bars
• a paved path to the home entrance

These types of accessibility repairs can be made when those features were not present prior to the disaster, and they are needed due to a pre-existing disability, or a disability caused by the disaster.
