Home Modifications

Modifications such as grab bars in showers, lowered kitchen counters, wider doorways, and ramps can help people with disabilities continue to live in their own home. Please note that if you are a renter, many landlords are required by law to make reasonable accommodations to the building's policies to help you live

in your building. They may also be required to allow you to make reasonable adjustments inside your living space at your expense. Click here to read about landlords' home modification legal responsibilities​​.
