HUD’s Office
of Multifamily Housing Programs is pleased to provide a new resource that
explains how many simple, low-cost modifications can make a huge difference
to the comfort and safety of older adults in multifamily housing, allowing
them to thrive in independent housing well into old age. The resource provides
a list of modification ideas—from simply installing nightlights to physical
alterations such as widening doorways and leveling thresholds. It also
explains the responsibilities of owners under the law and lists programs and
sources of funding that owners and service coordinators can explore to assist
with home modification for residents. View the introduction
to the home modification program: You can also review
this resource and other resources and information on the Multifamily
Housing Programs for Vulnerable Populations page on the HUD Exchange. |
