  • Service description

    As part of this funding program, cost subsidies may be granted for renovation work on existing owner-occupied homes that enable people with disabilities to continue managing their own households independently and living autonomously. In general, measures, fixtures, and equipment installed on or within existing owner-occupied homes are eligible for funding. It must be evident that the construction project is necessary due to the disability of a household member and that it is not a maintenance or modernization project.

    The following measures, in particular, are eligible for funding:

    • Installation of Permanent Ramps
    • Removal of Steps and Thresholds
    • Widening Doors
    • Accessible Bathroom Renovation
    • Upgrading and Installing Accessible Kitchens
    • Installation of appropriate lifts (e.g., stairlift, platform lift)
    • High-contrast design of circulation areas inside and outside the buildings

    This list is not exhaustive; if other measures are planned, they may also be eligible for funding.

    Please use the form titled “WBF – Application for a Cost Subsidy” (shown here or below) to register the program with the Fulda District Office.
