How much HVMP funding can I receive for home modifications?

Eligible applicants may apply for up to $15,000 as a lifetime maximum for home modifications, adaptations and devices through the Home and Vehicle Modification Program.

Can HVMP funding be used for a stairlift?

Potentially, yes. The Province of Ontario specifically includes stairway lifts, platform lifts and certain lifting or transferring devices among eligible home modifications. Approval depends on the applicant and proposed modification meeting program requirements.

Can funding cover an accessible bathroom renovation?

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.

Are there programs besides the Home and Vehicle Modification Program?

Yes. Depending on eligibility and location, possibilities include Ontario Renovates, the federal Home Accessibility Tax Credit and certain municipal or property tax relief programs.

Where do I apply for the Home and Vehicle Modification Program?

The Province of Ontario directs applicants to March of Dimes Canada, which administers the program and provides information about eligibility and the application process.

Can I combine different sources of financial assistance?

Possibly, but each program has its own rules. Ontario specifically states that HVMP applicants must first access other available public or private funding. 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.
