Navigate Life Texas: Resources for kids with disabilities and special needs
The Amy Young Barrier Removal (AYBR) Program provides one-time grants of up to $22,500 for Persons with Disabilities who need modifications to increase accessibility and eliminate hazardous conditions in their home. Program beneficiaries must include a Person with Disability, must have a household income that does not exceed 80% of the Area Median Family Income (AMFI), and may be tenants or homeowners. Amy Young Barrier Removal Program helps finance home modifications that include the addition of handrails and ramps, widening of doors, adjusting countertops and cabinets to appropriate heights, installation of buzzing or flashing devices for persons with visual or hearing impairments, and installation of accessible showers, toilets, and sinks.
The Department implements the AYBR Program through multiple nonprofit organizations and local governments who process intake applications, verify eligibility, and oversee construction.
