Eligible HVMP modifications can include rearranging bathrooms for safer use, wheel-in showers, wall grab bars and bathtub safety rails.

Should I purchase accessibility equipment before applying?

It’s best to investigate program requirements first. Some funding programs require applications, assessments or approval before eligible expenses are incurred. Confirm the rules of the particular program before committing to a purchase or beginning construction.

Tax-credit rules may also affect which expenses can be claimed. Confirm your eligibility with the relevant program administrators or a qualified tax professional before proceeding.
