Mid Michigan Community Action Agency (Mid Michigan CAA) is offering a new opportunity for older adults to make their homes safer and easier to live in. The Home Ramp Up Program, officially known as the Older Adults Home Modification Program (OAHMP), provides no-cost home improvements to help individuals maintain independence and quality of life.
“Our homes should support us as we age,” said Cherri Swanstra, Community Impact Director at Mid Michigan CAA. “Through this program, we’re making everyday life safer and more accessible for older adults in our community, one ramp, one grab bar, one improvement at a time.” About the Program Home Ramp Up helps eligible homeowners aged 62 and older by providing modifications that reduce the risk of falls and improve accessibility. These updates are customized to each household and may include: • Ramps • Grab bars and handrails • Toilet and faucet replacements • Tub cuts and walk-in tubs • Adaptive equipment and other safety enhancements By making these changes, the program helps older adults live safely and comfortably in the homes they love. Available in Eight Counties The Home Ramp Up Program is available at no cost for eligible homeowners aged 62 and older in Bay, Clare, Gladwin, Mecosta, Midland, Muskegon, Oceana, and Osceola Counties.
