Home Modifications for Independence
Home Modifications for Independence (HMI) helps homeowners and renters remain independent by staying in their homes through grant-funded home modifications.
“Before [the home modification] I literally couldn’t go outside — it’s changed our lives a great deal.”

The HMI program provides access to home modifications for people with various disabilities, those living with traumatic spinal cord injuries, as well as older adults. Our programs are both statewide and location-specific, depending on the need.
Homeowners or renters who wish to apply for HMI grants must meet certain income requirements and other eligibility criteria.
Home Modification examples include:
- Bathroom modifications, such as: grab bars/railings, tub/shower transfer bench, and raised toilet seats.
- Widening doors
- Accessible kitchen/bedroom features
- Access ramps
- Motorized chair lift
- Fall prevention/safety features
- And more!
HMI is funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Craig H. Neilsen Foundation, the Sarah Ralston Foundation, and the PA Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED).
