CDLI has been selected by New York State Homes and Community Renewal to administer the Access to Home and Access To Home For Medicaid Recipients Program in Nassau and Suffolk Counties. 

Funds are made available through the New York State Housing Trust Fund Corporation.

The Access To Home Program provides assistance to make residential units accessible for those living with physical mobility challenges. The program’s intent is to enable individuals to live at home safely and comfortably, rather than in an institutional setting. Eligible properties can be owner-occupied homes or rental units but must be the primary residence of the participant.

Designated spots are reserved for Medicaid recipients. All improvements and adaptations are based on meeting the individualized needs of the occupants requiring the modifications following an evaluation completed by one of CDCLI’s experienced Rehabilitation Specialists. Funds are available for accessibility modifications up to $25,000 per household.

Home modifications may include but are not limited to:

• Ramps & Lifts

• Stair Glides

• Handrails

• Expanded doorways

• Kitchen and bathroom modifications

• Roll-in showers, grab bars and seats

• Walkways, Driveways, & Stoops

• Special thermostatic and environmental controls

Please note that all repairs must address an accessibility issue for the program participant.
