At Access, we know that creating a safe, accessible home can feel overwhelming—not just in planning the right modifications, but also in figuring out how to pay for them. That’s why we’ve put together dedicated funding resource pages for both Wisconsin and Illinois residents.
These guides gather trusted programs, grants, and financial assistance options so that individuals, families, seniors, and people with disabilities can make the modifications they need—without carrying the full financial burden alone.

Why These Resources Matter
Every Home Modification—from Ramps and Stair Lifts to Accessible Bathrooms—makes daily life safer and more independent. But cost should never be the reason someone can’t live comfortably in their own home. By gathering these funding programs in one place, we make it easier for families to explore their options and take the next step toward accessibility.
