The program provides zero percent forgiven loans up to $7,500 to help low-income Pierce County residents make their homes fully accessible. Our team of housing specialists provide assistance to clients through all stages of rehabilitation. Residents needing additional work may also qualify for the Rehabilitation Loan Program.

To be eligible for the program, applicants must meet HUD's income guidelines. All repairs will be completed in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines and the Washington State Barrier Free Code and other applicable local codes. All eligible applicants' property will be inspected prior to receiving assistance. The Rehabilitation Specialist will determine if the repair request is within the scope of the program. All work is performed by contractors who are licensed and bonded in the state of Washington and are qualified to perform the necessary repairs. To be eligible for repair assistance, the property must be located within Pierce County, but not in the city limits of Tacoma or Lakewood. Residents in those cities must contact either the City of Tacoma or the City of Lakewood to inquire about similar programs.

As pictured below, typical modifications include the installation of wheelchair ramps, roll-in showers, grab-bars, the widening of doorways, and other accommodations addressing the individual needs of the client.
