THE OAHMP MODEL PRIMARILY RELIES ON THE EXPERTISE OF A LICENSED OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST (OT) TO ENSURE THAT THE HOME MODIFICATION ADDRESSES THE CLIENT’S SPECIFIC GOALS AND NEEDS AND PROMOTES THEIR FULL PARTICIPATION IN DAILY LIFE ACTIVITIES. THE OT IS TRAINED TO EVALUATE CLIENTS’ FUNCTIONAL ABILITIES AND THE HOME ENVIRONMENT AND HAS KNOWLEDGE OF THE RANGE OF LOW-COST, HIGH-IMPACT ENVIRONMENTAL MODIFICATIONS AND ADAPTIVE EQUIPMENT USED TO OPTIMIZE THE HOME ENVIRONMENT AND INCREASE INDEPENDENCE. THE GRANTEES, WHICH ARE EXPERIENCED IN PROVIDING SERVICES TO SENIORS, WILL DELIVER HOME MODIFICATION SERVICES TO MORE THAN 1,900 SENIOR FAMILIES IN BOTH URBAN COMMUNITIES AND COMMUNITIES WITH SUBSTANTIAL RURAL POPULATIONS.; EXPECTED OUTCOMES: PROVIDED THROUGH HUD’S OLDER ADULTS HOME MODIFICATION PROGRAM (OAHMP), THESE GRANTS ENABLE LOW-INCOME ELDERLY PERSONS TO REMAIN IN THEIR HOMES THROUGH LOW-COST, LOW BARRIER, HIGH IMPACT HOME MODIFICATIONS TO REDUCE OLDER ADULTS’ RISK OF FALLING, IMPROVE GENERAL SAFETY, INCREASE ACCESSIBILITY, AND IMPROVE THEIR FUNCTIONAL ABILITIES IN THEIR HOME. THESE INVESTMENTS WILL DELIVER HOME MODIFICATION SERVICES TO MORE THAN 1,900 SENIOR FAMILIES TO ENABLE OLDER ADULTS TO REMAIN IN THEIR HOMES – TO “AGE IN PLACE” – RATHER THAN MOVE TO NURSING HOMES OR OTHER ASSISTED CARE FACILITIES.; INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: THE OAHMP PROVIDE FUNDING TO EXPERIENCED NON-PROFITS, STATES, LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, AND PUBLIC HOUSING AGENCIES FOR SAFETY AND FUNCTIONAL HOME MODIFICATION REPAIRS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF LOW-INCOME ELDERLY HOMEOWNERS TO ENABLE THEM TO REMAIN IN THEIR RESIDENCES AT LEAST ONE HALF OF THE FUNDS SHALL BE AVAILABLE TO COMMUNITIES WITH SUBSTANTIAL RURAL POPULATIONS.
