About This Program

The Grant Map catalogs Maryland Accessible Homes for Seniors Program in its Baltimore, MD research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.

The Accessible Homes for Seniors program, jointly administered by Maryland DHCD and the Maryland Department of Aging, provides zero-percent interest deferred loans or grants of up to $25,000 to income-eligible homeowners age 55 and older for accessibility modifications that allow them to remain safely in their homes. Eligible improvements include grab bars, railing installation, doorway widening, and ramp construction. Grants (rather than loans) are available when the applicant does not qualify for loan funding.

Maximum grant award; loans are 0% deferred for 30 years if applicant qualifies for loan funding.
