The Weld County Area Agency on Aging Home Safety Program is designed for Weld County residents aged 60 and older. We have established the voucher program to help low-income, minority, and frail residents have grab bars installed in their homes. Our goal is to assist older adults who need it most so they can remain in their homes for as long as possible.
This is a reimbursement program that covers up to $400 for grab bars and their installation. Applicants must submit an application and hire a licensed contractor to complete the installation. Once an applicant is approved by the coordinator, they will need to hire a licensed contractor, pay for the services rendered, and then submit a claim for reimbursement up to $400. Any costs exceeding the reimbursement amount will not be covered by the voucher program.
For renters, a property owner consent form is required, as not all rental situations are eligible. The Home Safety Program Coordinator must approve the services before any work can begin. For referrals or more information about this program, please contact Gabi Snyder at (970) 400-6133 or gsnyder@weld.gov.
