Are there government programs that can assist with modifications to a home for wheelchair access?
Homeowners or tenants may apply to receive a provincial grant through the Residential Access Modification Program (RAMP). RAMP assists with funding to complete permanent wheelchair modifications that facilitate access into or within their current principle residence. Eligibility is based on gross income; wheelchair use is on a continuing basis and residency status. More information is available by calling 780-427-5760 in Edmonton, or toll-free 310-0000 then 780-427-5760, or by email at RAMP@gov.ab.ca.
