The disability or disabling condition requires that the individual’s home incorporates accessible features such as ground floor construction, wheelchair lifts, wheelchair ramps, open floor plans, widened doorways, grab bars, roll-in showers lowered cabinets and countertops, oversized rooms, sidewalks, accessible controls and features, other individualized architectural adaptations, and non-toxic environments, which are accessible to people with environmental illnesses or multiple chemical sensitivity.” Household is required to contribute $1,500 towards their purchase.
