Description
The Home Access and Independence Grant is administered by the Tennessee Department of Disability and Aging (DDA). It funds DDA-approved modifications to existing residential settings that address accessibility, safety, functional needs, or independence. The goal is to help individuals with disabilities and older adults live safely and independently in their communities.
This competitive, one-time grant supports residential provider organizations serving people receiving specified waiver services. Its focus is on improvements to the settings where people live, rather than research or a separate science initiative. Approved project expenses are funded through reimbursement.
