SC UpLift Community Outreach Receives HUD Award to Help LOW-INCOME ELDERLY HOMEOWNERS AGE IN PLACE
Program Information:
SC UpLift Community Outreach has been awarded $1 million to make modifications to homes of elderly residents in Chester, Fairfield, and Union counties. Thirty-two organizations received grants. SC UpLift was one of only two organizations in South Carolina.
Provided through HUD’s Older Adults Home Modification Program (OAHMP), these grants allow low-income seniors to stay in their homes through low-cost home modifications (up to $5,000) that will reduce older adults’ risk of falling. Examples of these home modifications include installation of grab bars, railings, and lever-handled doorknobs and faucets, as well as the installation of adaptive equipment, such as non-slip strips for tub/shower or stairs.
