An Act relative to home remodeling programs for seniors and people with disabilities

This bill directs the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities to create a program that helps seniors and people with disabilities afford modifications to make their homes more accessible. The agency would set specific rules and standards for the program and distribute funds to cover costs for necessary home improvements. Eligible residents could use these resources to adapt their primary residences for better mobility and safety. The program's operation depends on future legislative approval of funding.
