Older Adults Home Modification Grant Program | LHC 2600 DC 0069

Opportunity Information: Apply for LHC 2600 DC 0069

The Older Adults Home Modification Grant Program (OAHMP) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) designed to help low-income seniors safely stay in their homes. The program focuses on practical, high-impact home modifications and repairs that reduce fall risks, improve overall safety, increase accessibility, and support day-to-day functioning inside the home. The larger aim is to help older adults "age in place" rather than being forced into nursing homes or other assisted living settings because their housing is unsafe or no longer workable for their mobility or health needs.

This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning awardees should expect an active partnership with HUD and clear performance and program requirements. Funded programs are expected to be comprehensive, not just one-off repairs, and centered on low-cost, low-barrier upgrades that can make a meaningful difference. While the notice does not list specific modification examples in the text provided, the emphasis is clearly on safety and functional accessibility improvements that directly address common in-home hazards and mobility limitations for older residents.

Eligible applicants include state governments, local governments (including counties, cities, townships, and special districts), public housing authorities (including Indian housing authorities), and nonprofit organizations with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). A key eligibility condition is that applicants must have at least three years of experience providing services to elderly adults, signaling that HUD is prioritizing organizations and agencies with a proven track record serving seniors and the operational capacity to deliver repairs and renovations effectively. Applications must also meet specific threshold requirements described in Section III of the full announcement in order to be considered.

Several applicant types are explicitly not eligible for funding under this announcement, including individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships. This keeps the program focused on established, accountable organizations and government entities capable of administering grant-funded home modification services at scale and in compliance with federal requirements.

In terms of funding size and competitiveness, the award ceiling is $3,000,000, and HUD expects to make about 32 awards.
