Eligible seniors can now apply for the Safe and Healthy Home for Seniors Program, a $1.5-million program to help cover the cost of home accessibility and safety upgrades.

Seniors aged 65 and older and family members who have seniors living with them can apply for funding of up to $5,000 ($6,500 in rural and remote areas) to help fund basic home adaptations that are essential for daily living. Applicants can apply for a grant every three years, to a lifetime maximum of $15,000.
