How to Apply for the Municipal ADA Improvement Grants | MA Office on Disability
On July 21st, I sponsored a presentation in partnership with the Massachusetts Office on Disability at Essex Regional Tech.
We reviewed the steps to take to Apply for the Municipal ADA Improvement Grants that MOD is offering. The Massachusetts Office on Disability will continue to accept completed applications through the end of October 2023 for FY2024.
Thank you to Evan George, MOD ADA Grant Compliance Coordinator, and to all who attended, including several DPW Directors and ADA Coordinators from my district. Our presentation focused on the importance of accessibility for all to better serve our communities by improving accessibility.
Evan spoke on grant eligibility, grant types, administration, and the application process. These grants will support capital improvements dedicated to programmatic access and/or removing barriers disabled people encounter at municipal facilities. Again, the Massachusetts Office on Disability will continue to accept completed applications through the end of October 2023 for FY2024.
The following links are for your information and will be quite helpful in completing the application process for your community.
