Project Name: Homeowner Rehabilitation for Veterans with Disabilities
Provide a brief description of the project being submitted to the 12% SRPMIC Grant
program. In the description provide a summary of the relevant experience, administrative
activity, and program development related to the grant request.
Maricopa County is dedicated to providing housing services designed to address home livability,
safety concerns, energy efficiency, and accessibility upgrades. Maricopa County Human Services
Department (MCHSD) proposes a program that provides home rehabilitation that is suitably
adapted to Veterans with disabilities. After home rehabilitation, Veterans will be able to age
comfortably in place by living independently in a safe and accessible home. This program will be
implemented using the existing Maricopa County Home Improvement Program (MCHIP)
guidelines and procedures. If the Veteran is eligible for additional services, MCHSD will leverage
federal and local funds to expand upon the rehabilitation.
MCHSD currently has 57 families on its rehabilitation waitlist, 20 of those families are Veterans
hoping to obtain assistance in making the repairs needed to maintain a healthy and safe home.
MCHSD will coordinate community referrals for this program including referrals from the
SRPMIC Social Services Department. MCHSD also utilizes an online inquiry system hosted on
www.Maricopa.gov which allows interested Veterans to complete and submit a brief form to
inquire about services available to them. To be eligible for the program, Veterans must own their
home in Maricopa County; be active, honorably discharged or retired members of the armed
services; have a disability; and, whenever possible, the household annual income not exceed
80% of Area Median Income.
MCHSD will provide housing rehabilitation services to Veteran homeowners with physical or
cognitive disabilities including, but not limited to, the following types of improvements:
accessibility fixture retrofits in bathrooms and kitchens; doorway widening; as well as ramp
connection and ramp modification in order to increase structure mobility, stability, and safety of
homes.
All MCHIP improvements are made by licensed contractors. MCHSD utilizes its community-
based partnerships currently in place for efficient procurement of licensed contractors and to
ensure projects are completed in a timely manner. MCHSD will further ensure the success of this
program by utilizing currently employed and trained staff with client coordination and home

rehabilitation experience including working with Veterans and people with disabilities. Key
administrative functions will be completed by staff including: the continued review of policies
and procedures, applicant intake, contract management, activity tracking in online management
systems, site-visits, and grant reporting.
Whenever possible, MCHSD will leverage existing federal funding per home to maximize the
benefits to the eligible homeowner by expanding home improvements and including additional
necessary repairs, as well providing home weatherization services to increase energy efficiency.
Beginning Date of Project: January 1, 2020 End Date of Project: December 31, 2020
Geographic Area to be served:
All of Maricopa County including unincorporated areas.
Detailed Budget
A detailed budget is attached.
Amount of Total Project: $109,648 Amount of 12% Request: $75,000
(No Multi-Year Request will be accepted)
If the amount of funding received is less than the amount needed for the project, do you
have other funds to complete the project? (Please Explain):
No. The program will not continue after December 2020. The success of this kind of program
depends on continued sources of funding available each year. Maricopa County intends to
continue to seek additional funding which will eliminate gaps in this service for Veterans. While
federal funding is available to leverage and augment the program and maximize benefits to the
homeowners, the funding is not sufficient to carry out the program. Maricopa County hopes the
SRPMIC will consider supporting this program to expand and build upon this important work.

Maricopa County Human Services Department received $143,000 for calendar year 2016. A total
of five Veterans with disabilities were assisted with home rehabilitation. This outcome exceeded
the original goal by two homes due to strategically leveraged federal grant funding. The
Department received $75,000 for calendar year 2018 which provided home rehabilitation to
three Veterans. In addition, the Department received $75,000 for calendar year 2019 which is still
in process and will provide home rehabilitation to three Veterans.
