Affordable Housing Projects
It has become apparent that affordable rental housing for long term and/or transitional
tenancy is rare, and in most cases unaffordable. As such, AccessHome is developing and
acquiring permanent, affordable housing for its consumers by utilizing financial resources,
including government agencies/programs, private lending institutions, and HOME funds utilizing our Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) certification.

As a service provider for consumers of FNRC, AccessHome provides assistance and resources available for rental accommodations. Throughout our service area, we have units reserved for low-income individuals/families, with a percentage of units reserved for persons with developmental disabilities.

Currently, AccessHome inventory of affordable housing includes 3 duplexes and 7 single-family homes, 3 apartments, and 9 homes with Community Living Services.

Accessibility Modifications (AM)
It is the intent and policy of AccessHome to help provide modifications directly relating to
the consumer’s accessibility needs. Scope of work may include: Widening doors for ingress/egress; Grab bars/handrails to aid ambulatory problems; ADA bathroom facilities and installation; Wheelchair ramps and; Construction to facilitate accessibility equipment (i.e. lifts, track systems).

It is not the policy to complete any remodeling and/or additions to existing structures,
unless deemed necessary for consumer’s accessibility and falls within policy financial limits.
AccessHome limits assistance for accessibility modifications to one approved project in a
five-year period per consumer/household.

To receive AccessHome funding for modifications, a licensed and insured contractor is
required on projects exceeding $1,000. For projects requiring a building permit, AccessHome mandates submission of two (2) bids from licensed contractors. In most cases, AccessHome
staff must visit the site ahead of construction to explain the modification program process, approve the project and have the Accessibility Modification Agreement signed.

Note: AccessHome can provide only minor modifications to rental property (i.e. installation of grab bars
and/or handrails, provide handheld showerheads, install door handles, temporary removable ramps that
must be returned when tenant moves). Any modification to be completed on rental property must have the property owner’s written consent.
