Home Access Program

The Home Access Program assists with home modifications to improve the accessibility of an owner-occupied home in which an individual with disability resides. Eligible activities through the Home Access Program includes but not limited to, bathroom retrofitting which may include roll-in showers, construction of wheelchair ramps, lowering of cabinets and counters, widening of doorways, and installation of visual aids and audible alarms. 

Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) collaborates with Statewide Independent Living Council of Georgia (SILCGA) and its affiliated Centers for Independent Living (CIL) for the Home Access Program. DCA receives State funds for SILCGA for the Home Access Program. 

In FY2026, DCA received funds for SILCGA for the Home Access Program at the amount of $600,000. The Memorandum of Agreement has been signed between DCA and SILC to continue with the program. SILCGA funded the Home Access projects as applied by the Centers for Independent Living (CIL) serving their constituents. As a result, SILCGA was able to complete 57 Home Access projects completed to make individualized home modifications, including but not limited to, ramps and door modifications to attain access and exit to home safely, bathroom modifications etc. 

For FY2027 as well, DCA received funds for SILCGA for the Home Access Program at the amount of $600,000. The Memorandum of Agreement has been signed between DCA and SILC to continue with the program.
