Here are some free or low-cost resources and programs in the Cincinnati area that can help with home accessibility modifications like wheelchair ramps — including installation assistance, grants, and referrals:

🛠️ Local Programs & Nonprofit Assistance edit
    • 1. City of Cincinnati Housing Repair Services Program
  • Offers home repairs and accessibility improvements for low-income homeowners, including wheelchair ramp installation, grab bars, handrails, and electric lifts. 513Relief[2]
  • Administered through the city’s Buildings & Inspections Department; People Working Cooperatively typically implements the work. Cincinnati.gov[3] How to apply: Call the City of Cincinnati Housing Repair Services at (513) 351-7921. 513Relief[4]
    • 2. Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati – Critical Repair Program
  • Provides critical home repairs and accessibility modifications at no out-of-pocket cost for qualifying low-income owners. Projects can include “ramps” and other accessibility upgrades. Cincinnati.gov[5]
  • Requirements typically include owner-occupancy and income limits; veterans and seniors are often prioritized. Cincinnati.gov[6] Contact: Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati – (513) 621-4147 Cincinnati.gov[7]
    • 3. May We Help – Local Nonprofit Volunteer Assistance
  • May We Help is a Cincinnati-based nonprofit that connects volunteers with people who need home maintenance or accessibility support (often free or donation-based).
  • They can sometimes coordinate volunteer labor for ramps, grab bars, and other modifications.
    • 4. Hamilton County Renter Accessibility Program (if you rent)
  • Income-qualified renters in much of Hamilton County may receive grants (up to ~$7,500) to make accessibility modifications, including ramps. CivicLive[8]
  • Check eligibility by contacting Hamilton County Community Development or your housing authority. CivicLive[9]
    • 5. Veteran & Other Targeted Programs
  • Operation Ramp It Up: A Cincinnati program (started with The UPS Foundation & VFW) that helps connect people to ramps if other support options are exhausted (especially for veterans). Operation Ramp It Up[10]
  • Veterans Affairs (VA) may offer home modification assistance for qualifying veterans (through programs like Specially Adapted Housing) — contact your local VA office for details.
🧰 Tips for Maximizing Help edit
  • Apply early: Some programs have waiting lists and limited funding. Medicare.org[11]
  • Ask about portable ramps: If construction help is delayed, consider temporary ramps available locally through medical supply companies (cheaper options while you wait).
  • For seniors and low-income homeowners: Aging services like the Area Agency on Aging or Council on Aging often have referrals or small grants available for home safety modifications. Medicare.org[12]
🧑‍🔧 Local Businesses That Can Install or Consult (Often with Estimates) edit

If you need quotes, professional installation, or portable ramp options, these local suppliers & installers can help — even if you pursue funding first:

  • Amramp Accessibility of Cincinnati – wheelchair ramp solutions.
  • 101 Mobility of Cincinnati and Dayton – home access & mobility solutions.
  • Lifeway Mobility – ramps & home access products, free consultations.
  • Med Mart and Right Now Mobility – supply and possibly install ramps or mobile options.
