HUD Older Adults Home Modification Program (OAHMP)
HUD Older Adults Home Modification Program (OAHMP) is a competitive grant program funding experienced nonprofits, state and local governments, and public housing authorities that deliver low-barrier, high-impact home modifications for low-income older adults.
What it offers
HUD OAHMP is not a direct-to-family cash benefit. It funds experienced nonprofit organizations, state and local governments, and public housing authorities that run local programs making low-cost, low-barrier home modifications for low-income seniors. Family caregivers should look for funded local grantees or contact local aging/housing partners rather than applying directly to HUD as an individual.
Questions that decide eligibility
GiveCare prepares the questions; the program makes the decision. Bring these to the call or the application:
- 01
Does the VA disability rating meet the program’s minimum (our record lists null%)?
- 02
Do the work hours meet the minimum (our record lists null hours)?
- 03
Is there a caregiver-specific department, coordinator, or support line? Ask for it by name.
Many agencies have one that isn’t advertised on the website.

What documents do you need from us to start an application?
- 05
Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?
