Many people with disabilities have homes and vehicles that are not well designed to meet their mobility needs. Because each person with a disability is unique, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all accessibility solution.
Funded by the Ontario Government Ministry for Seniors and Accessibility, March of Dimes Canada’s Home and Vehicle Modification Program provides funding for basic home and/or vehicle modifications. By reducing or eliminating physical barriers which create life safety risks, modifications, adaptations, and devices enable children and adults with mobility restrictions to continue living in their homes, avoid job loss, and participate in their communities.
The HVMP provides funding for basic and essential solutions directly addressing physical barriers within a home explicitly related to an applicant's disability and current mobility restrictions.
Goals of the program include:
- Remove or minimize a life safety risk
- Prevent hospitalization/institutionalization
- Allow discharge from the hospital/institution
- Avoid loss of employment and income
- Allow a caregiver to meet the responsibilities of caring for a dependant with a disability
- Supporting children and adults to participate in developmental/community activities
If eligible, you may apply for:
- Up to $15,000 lifetime maximum for home modifications, adaptions and devices
- Up to $15,000 for vehicle modifications every 10 years
