Project Name: Homeowner Rehabilitation for Veterans with Disabilities
Grant Award Request: $75,000
Please provide a brief description of the project being submitted to the 12% SRPMIC
Grant program.
Maricopa County is dedicated to providing housing services designed to address home livability,
safety concerns, and accessibility upgrades. Maricopa County Human Services Department
(MCHSD) proposes a program that helps Veterans with disabilities to live independently in a
safe and suitably adapted home and to allow residents an opportunity to stay in their homes
and age comfortably in place. This program will be implemented using the existing Maricopa
County Home Improvement Program (MCHIP) guidelines and procedures. If the Veteran is
eligible MCHSD will leverage federal and local funds including weatherization funds.
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.
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.
All MCHIP improvements are made by licensed contractors. MCHSD employs trained staff with
extensive home rehabilitation experience including work with Veterans with disabilities, and
community-based partnerships in place for efficient procurement of licensed contractors.

MCHSD will coordinate community referrals including referrals from the SRPMIC Social Services
Department. MCHSD also utilizes an online inquiry system which allows interested Veterans to
quickly complete and submit a form to inquire about services available to them. To be eligible,
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.

All of Maricopa County including unincorporated areas.

Total Amount for Project: $109,621 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 2019. 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 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.
