• Up to $15,000 over 10 years for the same residence.
• Additional funding may be available in exceptional cases.

• Be a resident of Alberta.
• Have a permanent mobility challenge (e.g., use a wheelchair, walker, or cane).
• Have a household income below the program’s threshold.
• Own or rent the home being modified (with landlord consent if renting).
• The home must be the primary residence of the person with the disability.
