Renovations cost money, but who has money?

Renovations cost money, lots of money, and not all disabled people are able to work. So how do they afford to renovate their homes to become livable?

I found this on the Service Canada site where they offer the Residential Rehabilitation Assistance Program through the CMHC.

For someone living in Southern Canada, which would be Kamloops, you are able to receive up to $16,000. This is not a lot for renovations, but it definitely helps!

If anyone has heard of anyother funding or grants avaliable, then please let me know where I can find this information.

    Hey Emily, if your looking for grants for improving accessibility in Southern Canada here's the website for one in Ontario:

    It also has a link near the top for 10 key points of Planning for Accessibility.

    Does the money through the grant have to be put towards renovations for accessiblity?
